Ezra Williams
My Own Person
[Verse 1]
Been rotating the same two outfits for three years now
Waiting for some kind of inspiration to make me feel like I’m my own person
But buying new clothes just makes me feel down
Having new style would cause me more attention and I don’t feel like I’m my own person
I just feel like some other version of me
[Verse 2]
Been talking about the same problems for years now
But nothing I do seems to make things happen I try too hard, guess I gotta keep searching
Can’t help but think I just stand out
No matter what I do it’s bad, it’s hurting and I don’t feel like I'm my own person
I just feel like some other version of me
[Chorus]
I wanna blеnd into the background, I wanna be nobody and nevеr make a sound
But I wanna start feeling like I can be myself
Oh, wherever I go bad thoughts are lurking, I try and I try but I’m not my own person
[Verse 3]
I need new shoes these ones are worn out, I’ll buy the same pair just a different version ‘cause God forbid I put some effort in and
It would be nice if I wasn’t filled with doubt
Oh, I can’t help but feel that I’ve got some kind of curse and I don’t feel like I’m my own person
I just feel like some other version of me
[Chorus]
I wanna blend into the background, I wanna be nobody and never make a sound
But I wanna start feeling like I can be myself
Oh, wherever I go bad thoughts are lurking, I try and I try but I’m not my own person
I wanna be buried in the ground and I don’t want anyone to ever dig me out
And I’ve never had a sense of self
Oh, the longer I stay here the more things worsen, I’ll never be my own person
[Chorus]
I wanna blend into the background, I wanna be nobody and never make a sound
But I wanna start feeling like I can be myself
Oh, wherever I go bad thoughts are lurking, I try and I try but I’m not my own person
I wanna be buried in the ground and I don’t want anyone to ever dig me out
And I’ve never had a sense of self
Oh, the longer I stay here the more things worsen and I’ll never be my own person
