Being Yourself Lyrics by MKULTRA

The Divine Comedy

2023

[Chorus]
Please don't be yourself, it hurts me
It burns me to know that you're not who I thought you were
Stop being yourself, I'm learning
You confirm it, that I never loved you anyway
Compartmentalise, don't need to even try
I just know in my mind how the world work
If you don't say the lines, switch sides, you're ostracised
Put on a cross, you get burned, it's the world's curse

[Verse]
This distance is a wall that I built 'cause I was strung
On this love was bound to fall, yeah, I used you as my heroin
It's not my fault for the reason it went wrong
You deceived me through thе honesty, you shared I wasn't listening
Why should I havе to try? (Try) You're here to fix my life (Life)
You were the reason that my world kept turning
This is black and white (White), you got to pick a side (Side)
I love to hate, it distracts the hurting
You could be the one that, fill the hole inside my head
You can live there when I please you
Don't, don't have a say in this
We were made to be together, fill the role you're born to play

[Chorus]
Please don't be yourself, it hurts me
It burns me to know that you're not who I thought you were
Stop being yourself, I'm learning
You confirm it, that I never loved you anyway
Compartmentalise, don't need to even try
I just know in my mind how the world work
If you don't say the lines, switch sides, you're ostracised
Put on a cross, you get burned, it's the world's curse
