Be Myself Again - Donna Summer

Let me introduce myself

I’m a woman that you’ve never seen

You might know me from somewhere else

As someone that I’ve never been

I gave everything to play the game

My soul fell apart at the seams

I fell down like a house of cards

When somebody pulled the queen

'Cause you could spend your life

Lookin' for your own reflection

Time could blur the lines

Between what’s real

And what’s projected

Had I known what I lost?

What I gained, what it’d cost

I’d still give what remains

To be myself again

You must believe me when I say

Don’t live someone else’s design

Turn it around like a photograph

The writings been there all the time

Now you can have all

These hopes and dreams

The ones I can’t use anymore

I don’t know what it is you lost

But I hope you got what you came for

(Chorus)

Sometimes I want to leave right now

Sometimes I want to cry out loud

I want to let it all hang out

But I don’t want to let you down

Sometimes I want to just lay here

Sometimes I want to disappear

I want to show you all my fear

But I don’t want to let you down

(Chorus)

To be myself again
