NOT MEANT TO BE HE HAD TALENT HE HAD THE LOOKS HE LEARNED THE LESSONS FROM THE FINEST BOOKS BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING HE COULDN’T SEE HE WAS SIMPLY NOT MEANT TO BE LIKE A BAND THAT NEVER SIGNED A CONTRACT AND DID NOT RELEASE A HIT THEY WANTED TO BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER AND IMPORTANT (THEY WERE) REALLY NOT MEANT TO BE Chorus: I SHOULD BE MYSELF BUT I CHOOSE TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE I COULD TRY A BRAND NEW START I’M THE ONE WHO’S BEEN BREAKING APART HE HAD OBJECTIVES HE HAD A DREAM HE LABORED HARDER THAN THE REST OF HIS TEAM BUT FOR SOME REASON SOCIETY DECIDED HE WAS NOT MEANT TO BE LIKE THE MAN WHO LOST THE ELECTION TO J.F. KENNEDY (WHO IS HE?) HE THOUGHT HE WAS IMPORTANT HIS NAME WILL BE FORGOTTEN (HE WAS) MERELY NOT MEANT TO BE WHAT'S THIS GUY'S NAME ANYWAYS? I DON'T KNOW... WELL... WHO CARES?!?!

Chorus: I CAN BE MYSELF BUT I WANT TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE I SHOULD PLAY A DIFFERENT PART BUT INSTEAD I KEEP BREAKING MY HEART I COULD BE MYSELF BUT I NEED TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE I SHOULD BREAK FREE AND FLY I’M THE ONE WHO’S BEEN LIVING A LIE BREAKING APART LIVING A LIE
