Pathological (Who I Am) Lyrics

I swear on my dead body that this sentence is a lie

And everything I am is just meticulous disguise

Designed to make me interesting like the kids that have their friends

Because nobody loves me for being me, so it's better to pretend

The things I say can get maniacal

The word "liar" carved upon my skull

Maybe it's something pathological

But do you wanna know my secret?

I don't know who I am

Said I don't know who I am

And nobody gives a damn

When I'm crying out for help

Ask me 'bout my issues, there's a lot (I'm damaged and you know it, baby)

But my tongue just ties itself in knots (I'm trying not to show it, baby)

I don't feel safe until the truth about my demons has been scrubbed from my response

See, I gotta cover all my flaws

Gotta seem so perfect no one ever

Questions if I'm faking it or not

'Cause I

I don't know who I am

Said I don't know who I am

And nobody gives a damn

When I'm crying out for help

I've been a liar from the start

Makes you crazy 'cause I'm trying much too hard

I gotta learn to drop my defenses

And be truthful to myself

Oh, yeah

I really got to learn to love myself

To keep up the facade, I draw a smile on my frown

But if I slip for just one second, then it all comes crashing down

Don't dwell on what I was, just try to rise above

Through the push and shove, you know I save some love

I save some love for me

(I don't know who I am) 'Cause I

I don't know who I am

And nobody gives a damn

When I'm crying out for help

I've been a liar from the start

Makes you crazy 'cause I'm trying much too hard

I gotta learn to drop my defenses

I gotta stop hiding my intentions

I gotta see my failures like a lesson

And be truthful to myself
