This is a story you hear every day
A tale of two people where only one prevails
A game of hide and seek
Trying to find the other me
Some days you're silently minding your own business
Maybe you want to be noticed but only find yourself dismissed
Into the background
Who do you see in the mirror now?
Oh, is it you, or me?
Is it someone I don't want to be?
Will anybody like what they see?
When will I be me?
The somebody I want to be
When will I be me?
The real me I can't seem to free
When will I? When will I be?
When will I? When will I be?
Tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine
But you might have to figure out the truth from the lies
It's how I survive
Pardon my disguise
I don't know if it's me, or them?
'Cause it happens over and over and over again
Is it a game everyone plays?
When will I be me?
The somebody I want to be
When will I be me?
The real me I can't seem to free
When will I be me?
When will I be me?
When will I be me?
When will I be me?
The somebody I want to be
The real me I can't seem to free
The woman that I've never seen
The someone that I really need
The girl that I've seen in my dreams
When will I be me?
When will I be me?
