I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertone)
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! That's one word that can atleast try to describe this song. This song is so relevent in today's live, I mean you can listen to this song five years from now and still go mad. This song rocks my world.
Wow this song is good i am so with the part
"im tired of being wht u want me 2 b"
its so true that parents are overprotective or paranoid
my mom needs to know if im 10 away from the house for "safety issues" or if I go 2 a park then to another place 4 10 secs. she says i abused her trust nobody is perfect we all gotta be who we r
back to the song tho, it's really good. its the first lp song i showed my sis and now its her fav which is cool cause she doesnt like a lot of my music
I feel angry and sometimes listen to this song or write down songs about how my lifes a mess and no one helps me.
Sometimes my mum doesen't help AT ALL.She is always asking me where I've been or what I do in my room and I say I went for a walk or Im drawing or homework.I actully have to hide my books in the shed cuase' my mum doesen't like me drawing/writing/listing to angry stuff.I say f*ck her and do it myself.
She says to me sometimes to lend her my cd's HELL NO!!lp,blink-182 and green day is mine!!Not hers Good song so emotinal and a great lyriclly base lp song.
This song means a lot to me - now more than ever. I'm leaving for college in two years and my mom is STILL trying to control everything that I do. She searches my room, reads ANY paper she finds, goes through all my stuff, texts my friends on my phone pretending to be me just to see what kind of information she can get... Its ridiculous! I've gotten to the point where I've had my best friend hide my sketchbooks at her house because my work is a bit dark, and my mom would never allow "devil worship" in the house. Its not! Its just.. What I felt when I drew it... Like the one with a gun to the head...
But anyway, she tries controlling everything. She wants me to be the perfect little christian housewife/mommy, and I DON'T want to be. For one, I'm studying to be Wiccan (and keeping that under wraps from her), I couldn't care less about getting married right now, and I DON'T want kids. I take care of my little brother enough to know its too much work for me on top of everything else.
She sees what she wants to see, and I just let her believe it. I'm just not REALLY what she sees anymore. Its sad when you leave the house, get to where you're going, then change you're clothes or call up whoever you're REALLY meeting just because its not "mother approved" even when its not bad at all.
