Lyrics Let Me Be Him - Oh Mercy

Let Me Be Him

These days it’s hard to tell
From where you and I we came
And if our eyes finally meet
Would it be as strangers on a train?
We lost what we once shared
Now all I want to do is reclaim
So just give me the word
And then give me, give me his name
Pass me the mask
Let us begin
Let yourself be loved
And let me be him
Is this where he stands?
Teach me to be a different man
I’d rather live a lie
For just one night
Than to be the man I am
Does he hold you at night?
Does he wear a cologne?
Does he bathe you in the morning light?
Or is that something you do alone?
Does he move in that way?
The way I never dared?
And is he selfish in love
Or is that something, something you share?
Pass me the mask
Let us begin
Let yourself be loved
And let me be him
Is this where he stands?
Teach me to be a different man
I’d rather live a lie
For just one night
Than to be the man I am
