Author’s Note: Sure you’ve sometimes compared yourselves to someone: a friend, a singer, an actor, anybody you admire; and thought you would never be as perfect as they were from your point of view. This is what happens to me, though I know it’s stupid, I can’t help it. I’ve wanted to write this song since…I don’t remember. And now, here it is. Enjoy.

Water reflects the stars

What a cold, beautiful night

I watch it, always apart

Tears go down my eyes

This night is not made for me

It’s for people that shine

So happy, so alive, so free

People that’ll kiss below the light

Chorus:

If only I could be you

(Just like you)

Live your life

Do what you do

(Just like you)

Have everything you have

Be loved as you are

(If only I could)

Perfection does not exist

But who says that’s right?

Perfection’s everything I miss

Something that it’s not inside

On and on I’m me and only me

And I can’t stop my inner fight

Watch everything I could have been

As I die slowly inside

Chorus:

If only I could be you

(Just like you)

Live your life

Do what you do

(Just like you)

Have everything you have

Be loved as you are

(If only I could)

It’s the way my life flows

Wanting to be someone else

That nobody knows

Chorus:

If only I could be you

(Just like you)

Live your life

Do what you do

(Just like you)

Have everything you have

Be loved as you are

(If only I could)
