Someone Else
I wanna be what I am not.
Don’t wanna be what I must be.
I wanna get what ain’t got.
Let me be someone else than me.
Change my thoughts and point of view.
Turn my favourite colour into red.
Don’t be so stubborn and listen to you.
Mess around with everything in my head.
Don’t wanna mean what I mean.
Wanna turn it upside down.
Don’t wanna be what I’ve been.
Wanna dress in a different gown.
Don’t wanna act the way that I do.
Wanna to it the opposite way.
Don’t wanna think of what I’ve been through.
Don’t gonna be me one more day.
Gonna start with a new dress.
The colour is gonna be red.
Throw away my thoughts and sort out this mess.
Sweep away the old things in my head.
Get a meaning that’s never been spoken.
Think new thoughts and get an altered view.
Keep the old promise that I’ve broken.
From this moment I’ll be totally new.
