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?
Believe
Why can't i believe?
I don't want to break it down with you
Wondering if i ever did and 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
Thin-lipped 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 can't i
Why
Why
Why can't i be me?
(Simply elegant...)
