Case of the Mondays...

How Karen has been feeling lately...




I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming 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 undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

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

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be

It's not in response to anything specific. And yes, everything is perfectly blissful (well as blissful as can be in the midst of a disaster remodel) between Husband and I. It's just that... I suppose when one is faced with defending their entire personality and way of interacting with people it can make you feel a little moody.
I'm tired of trying to be perfect for everyone else.
I'm tired of trying to play the part for a million different people.
I just want to be me.
Imperfect and neurotic me.
