lyrics

I rather be hated for being me
Than being loved for someone I’m not

Acting older than I am
Be like everyone around me
Yet all my efforts turn out to be fake

All these years I tried to
Hunt down the picture perfect form of me
But I failed to catch it

I’m not old
Don’t know if I ever will be
I just try to act older than I am
My age does not reflect
My twisted kind of thinking
Compare me to a kid amongst giants
That’s where I am

But I have to acknowledge
I have to be a better man
Fit the picture the world
Already had of me

But I’ll never be the one
The world destined me to be
I rather be hated for who I am
Than being loved for someone I’m not
I rather be hated for being me
Than being loved for someone I’m not

I will walk this narrow road
And head the opposite direction

This world seems to go
I’ve shattered my picture perfect
And I am taking life in my own hands
I can’t live my life
Trying to hunt down perfection
