Why Can't I Be Me Lyrics - The Cure

I try so hard to be just for you 

Careful what I want to know and what I do 

Make my second nature all you ever see 

You're sure it's the only way to be 

Never go too far or ever stay too late 

Worry what I think about and what I say 

Make this second nature all I ever show 

You're sure it's the only one to know 

You're sure it's the only way to go

But why can't I 

Why can't I believe? 

Believe 

Why can't I believe? 

I don't want to break it down with you 

Wondering if I ever did and never who 

Take my second nature all you ever need 

You're sure it's the only way to feel 

Always run it back before I really should 

Thin-lipped sorry every time to make it good 

Take this second nature, all I ever play 

You're sure it's the only one to stay 

You're sure it's the only way... 

But why can't I 

Why can't I 

Why can't I 

Why can't I 

Why 

Why 

Why can't I be me? 

(Simply elegant...)
