To Not Be Me by Thompson Brothers Band Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People see me, but I’m all smoke and mirrors
Keeping up this charade
I just won’t ever fill the footsteps of my heroes
Oh, what a mess I’ve made
Oh, what a mess I’ve made

[Chorus]
I’d give anything to not be me right now
Escape from my own shell
I’d give anything to not be me right now
And just walk away
Pull a Houdini on myself

[Verse 2]
Blew all my savings and I used up all my best years
Let my true friends walk away
Despite the efforts just to keep up appearances
It’s far too much for me to fake
It’s far too much for me to fake
[Chorus]
I’d give anything to not be me right now
Escape from my own shell
I’d give anything to not be me right now
And just walk away
Pull a Houdini on myself

[Bridge]
Whoa, to not be me
To not be me
Whoa, to not be me
To not be me

[Chorus]
I’d give anything to not be me right now
Escape from my own shell
I’d give anything to not be me right now
And just walk away
Pull a Houdini on myself
