I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I 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 

I've [bad word] so numb
I can't feel you there [bad word] so tired
So much more aware
I'm [bad word] this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you 

Can't you see that you're smothering 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 

But I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
