The Cure

Why Can't I Be Me

I try so hard to be just for you
Careful what I want to know and what I do
Make my second nature
All you ever see
You're sure it's the only way to be

Never go too far or ever stay too late
Worry what I think about and what I say
Make this second nature
All I ever show
You're sure it's the only one to know
You're sure it's the only way to go

But why can't I...
Why can't I believe?

I don't want to break it down with you
When and if I ever did is never who
Take my second nature
All you ever need
You're sure it's the only way to feel

Always run it back before I really should
Bit lip sorry every time to make it good
Take this second nature
All I ever play
You're sure it's the only one to stay
You're sure it's the only way...

But why can't I...
Why can't I...
Why can't I...

Why?
Why?

Why can't I be me?
Simply inelegant...
