Lyrics
Nobody
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So exhausted with ego
The feelings of free load
And leave me so empty
All the parties of people
Moving the needle
Obsessing, never-ending (doesn't really matter)
Watch me take it over, move your body over
Make a little room for me
See 'em at the top, but leave 'em at the bottom
Focus on the come up, become someone
Movin' up the ladder doesn't really matter
As long as I am in the lead
See 'em at the top, but leave 'em at the bottom
Focus on the come up, become someone
The more that I grow, the more that I've come to know
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Playin' this game, it's easy to lose both ways
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Oh, I hate loving what you think
I hate the way I change the way I speak
I'm stuck, oh Lord, feeding on the hype
But just because I like it, doesn't make it right, no
Watch me take it over, move your body over
Make a little room for me
See 'em at the top, but leave 'em at the bottom
Focus on the come up, become someone
The more that I grow, the more that I've come to know
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Playin' this game, it's easy to lose both ways
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Uh, oh
Oh!
Purpose on a pedestal, lookin' back at you
Look what I have done, look what I can do (Yeah, oh)
But imagine me having nothing to prove, and nothing to lose
And have the courage to be nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody can hold me down
The more that I grow, the more that I've come to know
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Playin' this game, it's easy to lose both ways
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
(Hard to be someone)
(Hurts to be nobody)
The more that I grow, the more that I've come to know
Yeah, it's hard to be someone (It's hard to be someone)
And it hurts to be nobody
Playin' this game, it's easy to lose both ways
Yeah, it's hard to be someone (It's hard to be someone)
And it hurts to be nobody
(Hard to be someone)
(Hurts to be nobody)
