being you is like being a cutter
you slit your wrists every second you get
and the hopes you have are high
but you get them lowered
with your reputation
and your heart doesn't break
but that doesn't mean that others won't
i see you sitting on your porch
moping about how he doesn't notice
will he ever notice

doesn't it hurt to be you
never falling for what you want
wishing you were someplace else
how does it feel to not have someone there anymore
i was your shoulder
and all you did was destroy
the foundation that i had made
love was never your strong suit
how does it feel to be
how does it feel to be you

do you feel the wind coming in tonight
and when does this sun go down
on not just my heart
but on your pretty face
hide your tounge behind your whites
don't purse your lips at just anyone
i know now you are regretting some decisions
that you made and doesn't it suck
to know that you can't fix them
i know that i won't stop loving you
but that doesn't mean i can't stop caring

doesn't it hurt to be you
never falling for what you want
wishing you were someplace else
how does it feel to not have someone there anymore
i was your shoulder
and all you did was destroy
the foundation that i had made
love was never your strong suit
how does it feel to be
how does it feel to be you

hang me from the window
i am on the edge some nights
wanting to die so badly
but when i see your picture
it makes it all worth while
knowing that things will not be fine
for you
for you
to have nothing left
to have it all gone away

doesn't it hurt to be you
never falling for what you want
wishing you were someplace else
how does it feel to not have someone there anymore
i was your shoulder
and all you did was destroy
the foundation that i had made
love was never your strong suit
how does it feel to be
how does it feel to be you

to be you
is to be dead
and we know how that hurts
and when you breathe do you feel
a lump in your heart
when it comes to thinking about me
i know deep down inside it is
all that i can see
to be you
to be you
