What they think of me I could never ever be
A different version of myself with anyone that I meet
Who they say I am I could have never ever been
I haven't even been the one I thought I was
Looking out beyond myself and seeing things by circumstance
I wanna believe that we could overcome
And where I think I've been
Oh, I've never ever gone
A different version [C7]of that place where part of me still ɾesides
The places that they say I went
I've only ever heard about them
And the places that I've ɾeally been
Are as ɾeal as the narrative lets them
Looking out beyond myself and [Bm]seeing things by circumstance
I wanna believe that we could overcome
Looking out beyond myself and [Bm]seeing things by circumstance
I wanna believe that we could overcome
What they think of me
I could never ever be
A different version [C7]of myself with anyone that I meet
Who they say I am I could have never ever been
I haven't even been the one I thought I was
Looking out beyond myself and [Bm]seeing things by circumstance
I wanna believe that we could overcome
