Let Me Be Him - Oh Mercy

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
