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 undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
(I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've 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]
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 undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[Chorus]
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
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
