I think about myself too much
I think my reputation
And what I mean to those I love
How I can leave a situation
I close my eyes and think about
The way I treat my friends
I know it's all I think about
I'm quiet 'till the end
You say you're happy
That I'm confident you noticed that
I keep my problems to myself
I know that we are polar
Opposites I noticed that
You said you're proud of me
I don't want you to be
I know I did it to myself
I told my friends too much about me
I know they care about my health
But are they better off without me?
So I'll go find myself some new
Friends in a city I don't know
I'll create a reputation
For myself that isn't close
To the one that I developed
With people that I know too well
You say you're happy
That I'm confident you noticed that
I keep my problems to myself
I know that we are polar
Opposites I noticed that
You said you're proud of me
I don't want you to be
So I'll go find myself some new
Friends in a city I don't know
I'll create a reputation
For myself that isn't close
To the one that I developed
With people that I know too well
Because I feel hyper-aware
Of what I am and what I'm not
To the people that I'm close to
To the strangers in the dark
I'll create a different version
So they don't know
What I've got to sell
You say you're happy
That I'm confident you noticed that
I keep my problems to myself
I know that we are polar
Opposites I noticed that
You said you're proud of me
I don't want you to be
