Just a character

Just a character

Compared to you, I’ll never be spontaneous enough
Compared to you, I’ll never be special enough
Spent a lifetime standing next to you, ready to escape
Counting down the seconds
Cause next to you, I’m just a fake
Just a character, a mask performing a role
You make me never lose control

But never say you want to gain total independence
That you’re much better off alone
Cause in the end, you’ll be on the ground
Begging for someone to take you back home

“what’s wrong today?
You look so sad
Did something happen?
You seem depressed”

I’ll shoot myself out of blame for my loneliness
I’ll shoot my character
I’ll shoot my role
Cause I’m the one, always with both feet on the ground
Never a step ahead, I take two back instead
I’m the one, invisible in a crowd
And still standing next to you, while you’re always standing out
I’ll shoot myself, cause I’m the one to blame
The one with so much more to gain
And still the one that no-one knows by name

“what’s wrong today?
You look so sad
Did something happen?
You seem depressed”

I’m the one, always with both feet on the ground
Never a step ahead, I take two back instead
I’m the one, invisible in a crowd
And still standing next to you, while you’re always standing out

i'm not sure why but i like this one.
