Cover art for I'm not myself lyrics by Amos Lee

The meaning is pretty obvious, but Amos has a way of saying so much in so few words: "You know how much this hurts me, I've never been this deep before." He's completely torn up because of the depth of his feelings. "Does anybody have a clue, how hard I worked at loving you?" This is so powerful since it's something that only you know. You don't want to let anyone else know how much you cared, how hard you tried, because then they'll know how much it meant to you, and how much it hurts. Amos doesn't waste words on trying to get her back. He was real. I want to put all of myself in a relationship, and if it ends, I've got nothing left to give.
