My Own Person - Smoothboi Ezra

Lyrics by：Rebecca Williams

Composed by：Rebecca Williams

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

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

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 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

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

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
