Be Myself Again Songtext

von Donna Summer

Let me introduce myself
I'm a woman that you? ve never seen
You might know me from somewhere else
As someone that I? ve never been

I gave everything to play the game
My soul fell apart at the seams
I fell down like a house of cards
When somebody pulled the queen

? Cause you could spend your life
Lookin? for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what? s real and what? s projected

Had I known what I lost
What I gained, what it? d cost
I? d still give what remains
To be myself again

You must believe me when I say
Don? t live someone else's design
Turn it around like a photograph
The writing's been there all the time

Now you can have all these hopes and dreams
The ones I can? t use anymore
I don? t know what it is you lost
But I hope you got what you came for

? Cause you could spend your life
Lookin? for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what? s real and what? s projected

Had I known what I lost?
What I gained, what it'd cost
I? d still give what remains
To be myself again

Sometimes I wanna leave right now
Sometimes I wanna cry out loud
I wanna let it all hang out
But I don? t wanna let you down

Sometimes I wanna just lay here
Sometimes I wanna disappear
I wanna show you all my fear
But I don? t want to let you down

? Cause you could spend your life
Lookin? for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what? s real and what? s projected

Had I known what I lost
What I gained, what it'd cost
I? d still give what remains
To be myself again
To be myself again
