about

This song's a little darker than most of the I'm Not Superman, it took me a long time to decide whether to use it for I'm Not Superman or my other band, Virtues Must Live. Trying to decide between the heavier or lighter sound was difficult, but ultimately decided that it was the lyrics, and not the arrangement of this song that took precedence, so I created an I'm Not Superman song out of it.

Fun Fact: I wrote the lead guitar like in the background of this recording as I was playing it on the recording, my body full of whisky (How very rock and roll)

lyrics

If I had any other head
or any other heart
with any other end
or any other start
do you think that I would still be fucking up?

in any other place
with other name,
with somone elses face
would I still be to blame?
or would I still hate myself for what I've done?

I'm twenty one and two months now,
funny how that gets me down,
I remember singing since I was fifteen years old.

I've never been in a fist fight,
yet I still don't know wrong from right,
and I've cheated my way in and out of love since I was young.
I'd tell you i'm getting better
just to stop you asking questions
the truth is I don't trust myself alone.

So i'll take my head with me tonight
two more years just seems like spotlight
shining down on what I'm doing wrong

I've been counting down the days,
back since I was seventeen,
I believe that fate is creeping up on me again

it's strange how friends can give you purpose
up until your feeling worthless
I don't ever want to have to feel like this again

i'm afraid I'll wake up on the operating table
and I hear the words we'll have to pull the plug,

and I can't take this any longer,
terrified of going under
what's the point in living if I'm just to scared to dream

I'm so sick of feeling like the enemy,
I'd sooner loose my pride than lose my dignity.
and i'm aware that i'm the one,
who made this go away,
So i'm making sure you hate me babe, so you can stay way

Cause I don't trust myself alone at night
and I've lost the only person who would see me cry.
I know youre listening wondering if this song's yours or mine
I don't think that you'll be able to decide
just remember that I loved you all the time.

so if there was any other me
or any other you
at any other time
to any other tune
do you think we could really win the fight?

In any other world,
on any other rock
in any other life
near any other star
do you think we could make this be okay?
