Lyrics

[Intro]

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore

[Verse 1]

Ever throwing at his home

Two glass houses, twenty stones

Fourteen yellow, six are blue

Could it be worse? Quite doubtful

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore

1, 2, 1-2-3-4

[Verse 2]

Two steps forward, three steps back

Without warning, heart attack

He fell asleep in the snow

Never woke up, died alone

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore

1, 2, 1-2-3-4

[Bridge]

Please don't dress in black

When you're at his wake

Don't go there to mourn

But to celebrate

[Bridge]

Please don't dress in black

When you're at his wake

Don't go there to mourn

But to celebrate

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore

1, 2, 1-2-3-4

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me anymore
