M.E. Lyrics

Staring at myself, always looking at the mirror

My thoughts are running wild but they've never been clearer

I've been more insecure despite securities I grabbed

Is the future that I want, the future I will never grasp

I deserve this, I did it all myself

I didn't need you, or anybody's help

I made my mind up, I made a couple mistakes

But the falls I always took are from leaps I never take

Every slump you see me in, you bet I never get up

You think you're being critical, my mind is never let up

So I will ruin you, I'll go to war with your beliefs

You won't ever win, never against me

You can be you, but you'll never be me

I've been very adamant about being the best

I never thought for a moment maybe I needed a rest

I never thought for a second if I took it I'd see

This ain't about you, this about me

I'm so far inside my head and I'm living rent free

I hated the fact that my dreams were just dreams

And then I got to where I wanted, and it only seemed

Got a long ways to go farther than I can see

Up another hill, taller than the last

Then another hill so big I couldn't even see past

And I was blind with rage, filled with greed

The things I always wanted I thought I would need

The life I always needed was way up in the sky

Or wanted, still a little stuck in my mind

But today seems really special as I pull myself up

It wasn't just work, but it wasn't just luck

This was Matthew's doing and that really stuck see

This wasn't anything you did, it was only me

You can be you, but you'll never be me

I've been very adamant about being the best

I never thought for a moment maybe I needed a rest

I never thought for a second if I took it I'd see

This ain't about you, this about me

Life wasn't always good but it brought me here today

It's giving me this feeling I hope never goes away

It took my all so far and keeps asking for more

But I don't mind, no, I don't mind anymore

I will keep pushing, and keep soldiering on

I'm so used to these trenches and my shoulders are raw

From the weight of the world, this world that is mine

I wouldn't want it any other way, cause right now at this time

I'm at a peak, as I soak in the sun

I look back at all the hardships every battle I won

I take my armor off for the first time in my life

Laying my sword down, that's now a dull knife

I feel the rays hit my brow, I breathe out a sigh

I'm ready for my next biggest climb

You can be you, but you'll never be me

You can be you, but you'll never be me
