Who are You? Lyrics

I wish you were who you said you were

I've broken bones, but those words hurt worse

Build up a tower of broken promises

They all come crumbling down in the end

Now I know I'm a sore sight to see

There's a sickness in me for which I won't remedy

So I hide all the parts of me

Afraid to say the words that I've been meaning to speak

Refuse to call for help

You get inside your head

You can't believe yourself

So you just play pretend

You disregard your health

I'm left here wondering

Why won't you bring this to an end

All this time

I've been fighting this same old fight

Oh, Lord knows I've tried to make this work

But I refuse to learn, oh

All this time

I've been trying to make this right

Oh, put down your pride

And hear these words when I say

I wish you were who you said you were

Cry in the shower until the water runs cold

I'm breaking down right behind closed doors

Lost in the dark I need a hand to hold

And stepping into the light's the only way to grow

Refuse to call for help

You're on your own instead

You can't believe yourself

And you've got no defense

It's not what you intend

So now I'm wondering

Why won't you bring this to an end

All this time

I've been fighting this same old fight

Oh, Lord knows I've tried to make this work

But I refuse to learn, oh

All this time

I've been trying to make this right

Oh, forget your pride

And hear these words when I say

I wish you were who you said you were

Oh, who you said you were

Oh, who you said you were

Oh, who you said you were

Oh, who you said you

All this time

I've been fighting this same old fight

Oh, Lord knows I've tried to make this work

But I refuse to learn, oh

All this time

I've been trying to make this right

Oh, forget your pride

And hear these words when I say

I wish you were who you said you were
