Sometimes we're reminded
Of the likenesses between us
But we never really realise
Till we take a closer look
It's hard to look around and see
Some semblance of you in me
We can get lost in this unreal reality
Hoping we can just get by
Trying not to peer inside
The crack in the door
For who we really are
Hiding, holding onto fear
Never letting go to veer
Preaching to ourselves
That we can be somebody else
That we can be somebody else
And we can blame somebody else
And we can be somebody else
And we can blame somebody else
I'd rather not just be myself
Hide your smile
Return to sender
I'm trying to render
This counterfeit life
Why
Yeah
I turn to you and you to me
It seeps down and finds a niche
Cracking, crumbling castles
Against the rising tide
Breaking down
What once made proud
Counting back to days aloud
We're so indifferent
Endlessly reminded
Of the differences between us
But we never really see ourselves
For what we can do now
It's time to look around and be
The difference we want to see
Forget about the fallacy
Of being someone else
Hide your smile
Return to sender
I'm trying to render
This counterfeit life
Why
Yeah
