I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired
So much more aware

I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired
So much more aware

I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

And I know:
I may end up failing, too
But I know: you were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired
So much more aware

I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

I dreamed I was missing.
You were so scared,
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else care.

After my dreaming,
I woke with this fear.
What am I leaving,
When I'm done here?

So if you're asking me,
I want you to know:

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done,
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.
And, don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest...

Don't be afraid
Of taking my beating.
I've shared what I'd made.

I'm strong on the surface,
Not all the way through.
I've never been perfect,
But neither have you.

So if you're asking me,
I want you to know:

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done,
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.
Don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest...

Forgetting,
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well.

Pretending,
Someone else can come
And save me from myself.
I can't be who you are.

When my time comes

I can't be who you are...
I can't be who you are.
