The eyes are always on you so
Every single part of this head
Needs a break to see the blue of the sea
But tomorrow is going to be sad
And just for that
To be the one that others expect from you
It’s so chemical, and so difficult
To be the one
What do you expect from me?
Stop looking at me that way
‘Cause I need those words you never say
But why should they always come from me?
To be the one that others expect from you
It’s so critical, and so difficult
To be the one that others expect from you
It’s so chemical, and so unreachable
To be the one
Alright, they should be come from me
I just hope to have done it alone
So I can feel stronger when I realize
That I was never able, I was never able
To be the one that others expect from you
It’s so critical, and so difficult
To be the one that others expect from you
It’s so chemical, and so unreachable
To be the one
