    Trying To Make Me

    by: Lennon

    Are you sleeping, I wish I was
    Are you dreaming, of someone to love
    Do you know what I'm thinking but I guess you don't
    Cause you'd have to be around to hear my thoughts
    Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
    And I don't care what you think you have to say
    Tomorrow comes and today is gone
    And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
    Somebody else
    It's funny how you destroyed the better part of me
    There's nothing left so there's nothing anybody can see
    It's been 6 months now and you think you found everything
    In a day I wasn't there, in a way you didn't care
    Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
    And I don't care what you think you have to say
    Tomorrow comes and today is gone
    And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
    Somebody else
    I didn't settle, I just got lazy
    But I could see where you'd make the mistake
    I didn't try, I just gave up
    It was better to leave than stay
    It's easy when you're leaving
    It's harder when you try to return
    But I haven't got that far yet
    And that's a lesson I never want to learn
    I should know better and so should you
    I m exactly where you left me
    There was nothing better to do
    Are you still sleeping?
    Are you still dreaming?
    I m finally leaving but your still mixing
    Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
    And I don't care what you think you have to say
    Tomorrow comes and today is gone
    And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
    Somebody else
    Somebody else
