Every second Quote by Linkin Park
“Im tried of being what you want me to be. feeling so faithless, lost under the surface. Don't know what you're expecting of me. Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes.. Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow. Every step that I take is another mistake to you. Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow. I've become so numb, I can't feel you there. I've become so tried, so much more aware. Im becoming this, all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you... Can't you see that you're smoothering me? Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control. Cause everything that you thought, I would be has fallen apart right in front of you. Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow. Every step that I take is another mistake to you. Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow. And every second I waste is more than I can take. I've become so numb, I can't feel you then. I've become so tried, so much more aware. Im becoming this, all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you. And I know I may end up falling too. But I know you were just like me, someone disappointed in you. I've become so numb, I can't feel you there. I've become so tried, so much more aware. Ill becoming this, all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you. I've become so numb, I can't feel you there. Im tried of being what you want me to be. I've become so numb, I can't feel you there. Im tried of what you want me to be.”
