Emotion No. 13

I wish so hard that I could be just like the
One you want me to
But it doesn't seem to work though I'm trying.
I try so hard to do what's right, to be so good, 
To make you proud, but it never seems to satisfy you.
It's just the person that you want, 
It's not the person that I am.
The conflict inside's horrifying.

I want so much for you to think of me as 
person that deserves your respect and attention.
I wonder if I'll ever do the things you want,
The way you want
When I don't even know what I want yet.
It's not that I'm rebelling against the person you are
It's just that I don't know who I am.
All I know is it hurts, oh how it hurts
Oh God, do you know how I'm hurting?
There's an emotion in me, 
There's an emotion in me,
Emotion No. 13

Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not lying.
Emotion No. 13 easy crying
Don't ask me how I know, but I'm dying

Emotion No. 13 blows my mind away
Emotion No. 13, it blows me away

Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not
Emotion No. 13, says I'm
Don't ask me how I know, but I think I'm
Don't ask me how I know, but I think I'm
Dying, dying, dying, dying

All I know is it hurts, oh how it hurts
Oh God, do you know how I'm hurting?
There's an emotion in me, 
There's an emotion in me,
Emotion No. 13

Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not lying
Emotion No. 13, feels like I'm dying.
