Who I want to be

I've tried to make you understand

Tried to explain

But you wouldn't understand

Wouldn't listen

So I'm done

Trying to explain

I haven't given up

Far from it

I've just accepted the fact

That you'll never get it

That you'll never get me

I still have my hopes, goals and dreams

Only you won't be a part of them

Because nothing I do is good enough for you

You always want more

And I can't comply

Because I've nothing left

So I guess I'll settle for being alone

In my little world of make-believe

Where everyone gets me, including you

Especially you

But that's just another one of my stupid dreams

Right?

My stupid,

Elusive,

Naive,

Ridiculous dreams

The ideas that you'll never acknowledge

So I won't share my hopes anymore

At least not with you

But I'll keep dreaming

Alone

But deep down,

I'm still hoping,

Dreaming

Like the child I am

That one day...

You'll finally understand

And realise that I'm a dreamer

With my head in the clouds

And that there's nothing wrong with that

Because everyone's different

And while some people have to look at everything

With seriousness and practicallity

Some people have to see what they want to see

And that includes dreamers, idealists

That includes me

So sorry

But I'm not happy being you

I'm not happy being you

I'm content being me

And no longer shall I let you

Dictate to me

Who I want to be
