Suppose I said
I am on my best behavior
There are times
I lose my worried mind
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
Suppose I said
Colors change for no good reason
And words will go
From poetry to prose
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
And I
In time
Will come around
I always do for you
Suppose I said
You're my saving grace
Would you want me when I'm not myself? (My grace, myself)
(Not myself, when I'm someone else)
Wait it out while I am someone else? (When I'm someone else)
(When I'm someone else, when I'm not myself)
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
