EPIGRAPH + PLAYLIST

EPIGRAPH

❝ i wanted to make you proud
  but i just got in your way
   i found a place that i can hide

                              what do i have to do
                            to try to make you see
                              that this is who i am
                           and it's all that i can be

                              i tried to find myself
                           looking inside your eyes
                    you were all that i wanted to be

                      there must be something else
                                behind all the lies
                     that you wanted me to believe

  what do i have to do
  to try to make you see
  trying to be like you
    isn't good enough for me. ❞
