Be Myself Again

Let me introduce myself
I'm a woman that you've never seen
You might know me from somewhere else
As someone that I've never been
I gave everything to play the game
My soul fell apart at the seams
I fell down like a house of cards
When somebody pulled the queen
'Cause you could spend your life
Lookin' for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what's real
And what's projected
Had I known what I lost?
What I gained, what it'd cost
I'd still give what remains
To be myself again
You must believe me when I say
Don't live someone else's design
Turn it around like a photograph
The writings been there all the time
Now you can have all
These hopes and dreams
The ones I can't use anymore
I don't know what it is you lost
But I hope you got what you came for
'Cause you could spend your life
Lookin' for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what's real
And what's projected
Had I known what I lost?
What I gained, what it'd cost
I'd still give what remains
To be myself again
Sometimes I want to leave right now
Sometimes I want to cry out loud
I want to let it all hang out
But I don't want to let you down
Sometimes I want to just lay here
Sometimes I want to disappear
I want to show you all my fear
But I don't want to let you down
'Cause you could spend your life
Lookin' for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what's real
And what's projected
Had I known what I lost?
What I gained, what it'd cost
I'd still give what remains
To be myself again
To be myself again
