Someone I'm Not

We pull on the thread We hide from ourselves We whisper at night Trying to come undone

We don’t tell our flaws We won’t tell our moms Too embarrassed to kiss How’d we end up like this?

I read you a book to turn you on Pretending to be someone I’m not

I don’t lie but it’s fiction The stories we tell Believe me when I say this I’m going to hell

The mask that I wear Is eating my face I’m falling from grace In this candle lit room

I read you a book to turn you on Pretending to be someone I’m not Turning the pages trying to play the part Pretending to be someone I’m not

Touch me on my breast Breathe deeply and smile Breaking the mirror And worried mind

Lost in the moment Please close your eyes Maybe I lied But this is my first time

I read you a book to turn you on Pretending to be someone I’m not Turning the pages trying to play the part Pretending to be someone I’m not

I read you a book to turn you on Pretending to be someone I’m not Turning the pages trying to play the part Pretending to be someone I’m not
