#THROWBACKTHURSDAY - some time in 2008.
A Song I wrote back when my mother felt the need to compare me to other people and not take me completely as I am.
She was there that night I sang this song as well.
LYRICS:
[VERSE I]
Who stands before you is not who I was yesterday
As I grow older, my mind and ways change
But it seems you become more and more displeased
With me being me
You'll never know what it's like to be me
Because you will never be me
All I need from you is to love me
And watch how God turns me into what HE wants me to be
[CHORUS]
There is only one me
Why can't you love me for me?
I won't be who you want me to be
Because I can only be me
[VERSE II]
You make me feel like I'll never be good enough
In whatever I do, you'll never be satisfied
Well, you'll just have to get over and live with what I can give
Because I'm not gonna let you live my life
We're blood, not twins
How we feel inside is very different
God would never force you against your will to be
So why does it feel as if you're doing it to me?
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
I love you with every muscle I have in me
But at times you make me feel like your enemy
Maybe it's that "Everything I do is a sin" tone
If so, let's see you cast the first stone
Yes I do wanna work things out
But you have to watch the words that come out that mouth
Because they cut everytime we
Get into it because you can't deal with the real me
[CHORUS]
