Ideal Self

Take one look at me
What is it you see?
What you thought I'd be?
Was it all a dream?

Had one taste of me
Now too sick to breathe
No more make believe
Just uncertainty

Enter my ideal self
Leave my problems on the shelf
This is what you want to see
A shadow of the real me

Enter my ideal form
Leave all nuance at the door
This is what I'm meant to be
An echo of what lies beneath

Enter my ideal self
Leave my problems on the shelf
This is what you want to see
A shadow of the real me

Enter my ideal form
Leave all nuance at the door
This is what i'm meant to be
An echo of what lies beneath

When do I get what I want?
When do I get what I want?
When do I get what I want?
When do I get what I want?

Enter my ideal self
A shadow the real me
Enter my ideal self
A shadow of the real me

Enter my ideal self
Leave my problems on the shelf
This is what you want to see
A shadow of the real me

Enter my ideal form
Leave all nuance at the door
This is what I'm meant to be
An echo of what lies beneath

Take one look at me
What is it you see?
What you thought I'd be?
Was it all a dream?

Had one taste of me
Now too sick to breathe
No more make believe
Just uncertainty

Enter my ideal self
Leave my problems on the shelf
This is what you want to see
A shadow of the real me

Enter my ideal form
Leave all nuance at the door
This is what I'm meant to be
An echo of what lies beneath

Enter my ideal self
Leave my problems on the shelf
This is what you want to see
A shadow of the real me

Enter my ideal form
Leave all nuance at the door
This is what I'm meant to be
An echo of what lies beneath

When do I get what I want?
When do I get what I want?
When do I get what I want?
But I have to know that I tried or I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life

Enter my ideal self
A shadow the real me
Enter my ideal self
A shadow of the real me
