Everything I Thought I Had to Be |
| The image I saw reversed on the wall |
| Spoke to me |
| Reflected my hopes and told horiscopes |
| Of things to be |
| I promised myself I’d be someone else |
| Long before now |
| The mirror of youth distorted the truth |
| Weighed me down |
| Everything I thought I had to be |
| Was a childish charade |
| Just a myth that I made to look outside myself |
| Everything I thought I had to be |
| Was a thousand-foot wall |
| Since nobody at all |
| Is everything I thought that I had to be |
| I dabbled in schemes and astronaut dreams |
| At age twelve |
| We all need to see a hero-to-be in ourselves |
| An unfounded pride will stumble and slide |
| Into guilt |
| A sense of defeat |
| The ghost of deceit |
| Haunts me still |
| Everything I thought I had to be |
| Was a childish charade |
| Just a myth that I made to look outside myself |
| Everything I thought I had to be |
| Was a thousand-foot wall |
| Since nobody at all |
| Is everything I thought that I had to be |
