WHY DON'T YOU BE YOU, AND I BE ME

Faking always, we try to convince the other
Portray what we aren't, act like some other

You want me to like you
I want me to be liked by you

You are not real, I know
We both keep displaying a different show

Trying to win approval and mind of the other
We somewhere lost oneself, reality no more matter

Can't we just try to be original
Rather than being a character so fictional

Let's just end this, start new
From where our souls we threw

Get them back together, now
Being our primordial, know how

'Cause we both know we can take no more
The water has risen, higher than the shore

From these chains of fiction, let's just get free
Why don't you be you, and I be me
