I Can Never Be Myself When You're Around Lyrics

Baby, I'm not the same me
I can never be myself when you're around
Baby, it's not a new thing
All the dreams we had were more than what we found

When we live just to love (baby)
Getting lost on our own (baby)
And we tell all our lies (baby)
As our hearts turn to stone (baby)

Baby, it's not that easy
I can never be myself when you're around
Baby, was it all for nothing?
We try to reach so high but still we hit the ground

When we live just to love (baby)
Getting lost on our own (baby)
And we tell all our lies (baby)
As our hearts turn to stone (baby)

Baby, I'm not the same me
I can never be myself when you're around
Baby, it's not a new thing
All the dreams we had were more than what we found

When we live just to love
Getting lost on our own
And we tell all our lies
As our hearts turn to stone

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song reminds me of pining for a girl i used to love. If i saw her today, I'm sure my stomach would still drop and i would lose myself.
