Lyrics

My life changes with the leaves From brightest amber to hues of green But my bones are breaking for the only shade I'd rather be So I'll put on a starchy shirt Collar and a tie And play the part for which I'm hired A firm handshake and matching smile And I'll ask myself to be a little more of what I think is me The very thing I'm afraid to become With every breath I think it's burning in my chest And if this fever ever breaks, I'm ready for the rest Late at night the sorrow comes It's eating up my eyes All the world is standing still They'll never hear my cries And I'll ask myself to be a little more of what I think is me The very thing I'm afraid to become And I'll ask myself to be a little more of what I think is me The very thing I'm afraid to become Cause life has become too much for me How it is and how I'd rather be All falls down without a sound Cause life has become too much for me How it is and how I'd rather be All falls down without a sound And I'll ask myself to be And I'll ask myself to be A little more of what I think is me And I'll ask myself to be a little more of what I think is me And I'll ask myself to be a little more of what I think is me The very thing that I'm afraid to become And I'll ask myself to be a little more of what I think is me The very thing that I'm afraid to become
