Someone Different

I will try my hardest
And that's the hardest that I can
To be who I have been for you
To help you be someone different

And I'm sure you'll be confused
And I won't hold it against you
But I am taking off
This rusty armor
Tonight

You will be impatient
And I'll fake patience for a lifetime
For as long as I can be your friend
There will be a secret hidden

I will not apologize
I will probably won't remember
When you understand
I'll be someone different

I did not live
Like my parents lived before
Or how their parents did before them
Or their parents before them

I found it hard
To be comfortable in my own skin and
I didn't find much joy in anything
So you have to be different

The legend goes unchanged
The dirt, the air, the burning
The stale waters of a river, they say
A dust than never settles

Made of all these things you
Can't be all that different
So when you feel alone one day
I hope you learned to listen

I did not live
Like my parents lived before
Or how their parents did before them
Or their parents before them

I found it hard
To be comfortable in my own skin and
I didn't find much joy in anything
So you have to be different
