This Other Person

I tried to be someone else today

I thought I had it down but it didn't work out
I guess I'm not the kind of girl who listens to the world
So why did I try
To do what they were doing?
I let them in my head
And out of all the things they said
Most of it were lies
So, I don't know why

I tried to be somebody else
I think I understand
Why it always fell apart
I won't be anyone else
It never works out how I plan
'Cause that's just not who I am

Why do I wanna be this other person?
I don't even know, oh, I just wanna know
Why does everybody act to be so damn perfect?
They don't even know
But that's just not who I am

I can't buy enough makeup
To hide all of my flaws
And every morning I wake up staring at the wall
Feeling like I lost it all
'Cause every picture that I see is
So not perfectly, perfectly beautiful
Are they as happy as they say
After all the surgeries
Tell me was it worth it all? Was it worth it all?

To try to be somebody else
I don't think you understand
It will always fall apart
So, don't be anyone else
It never gets you very far
'Cause that's just not who you are

Why do we wanna be this other person?
We don't even know, oh, I just wanna know
Why does everybody act to be so damn perfect?
They don't even know
Oh, that's just not who I am
That's not who I am

Won't try to fight it, won't try to hide it
That's not who I am
Don't try to fight it, don't try to hide it
That's not who you are
