[Verse 1]
Dear God, I'm writing this letter to you
'Cause I don't have a clue, can you help me?
I'm sitting here simply trying to figure out
What my life's all about, can you tell me?

[Chorus]
I never wanted to be the person you see
Can you tell me who I am?
I always wanted to die but you kept me here alive
Can you tell me who I am?

[Verse 2]
I lie awake conducting this symphony
That you have gifted to me, but I can't ever sleep
Don't be mad, but I get weak inside
And I start to fall apart 'cause I feel nothing

[Chorus]
I never wanted to be some kind of comic relief
Please show me who I am
I've been tortured and scorned since the day that I was born
But I don't know who I am

[Bridge]
And I thank you, man, for everything
Sorry I'm so frightened about all of it
But I wish I could give you more
And all the lights are shining down on me
And I feel intimidated by it all
[Chorus]
I never wanted to be the person you see
But thank you
Oh, God, please tell me now
Are you disappointed? Are you proud?
Haven't I done everything? Everything?
I'm so sorry I'm so weak and I've turned into a freak
But I don't know anything, anything
I've lost all self-esteem by burying everything
And I feel nothing, nothing
Oh, God, please tell me now, oh, God, please tell me now
'Cause I feel nothing

[Outro]
And dear God, I'm writing this letter to you
I am coming unglued, please help me
