Why Can't I Be Me? Lyrics
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)
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
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
Believe why can't I believe?
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
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
Why can't I why can't I
Why why
Why can't I be me? (Simply elegant)

God! This song is great why hasn't anyone commented this masterpiece? It obviously seems like a person who is being someone he/she isnt for this other person and is just in thought over it. upset.
cause this song is supposed to be "why can't i be you" not why cant i be me
No, there is a Cure Song called Why Can't I Be Me. It was a b-side on the single for Taking Off. :)
identity disorder :P
A relationship with someone holding you back is a possible take, but I wonder if, after all these years, Robert still struggles with getting the labels and such to agree with him and to let him do his own thing.
That's a shame. He does need the control from the label, otherwise a Three Imaginary Boys might happen...
