Lyrics:
Everyone loves you. Heaven adores you.
No one else lights up a room.
It’s been said you hung the moon.
But it don’t shine on me. Don’t you know

All this time I tried to be someone you’d see;
Someday to hear you say that I’m all you need.
And all this time I lied to be someone you’d see.
I’d smooth the rough edge of me; I’d carve with fine cutlery.
‘Til I’d become someone but not much of anyone.
Now I’m half of who I was. Yeah I’m half of who I was.

I thought that trying hard would win the object of my heart.
Fortune seemed to need a hand;
so I gave it all I had.
But then I had no more. Don’t you know

All this time I tried to be someone you’d see;
Someday to hear you say that I’m all you need.
And all this time I lied to be someone you’d see.
I’d smooth the rough edge of me; I’d carve with fine cutlery.
‘Til I’d become someone but not much of anyone.
Now I’m half of who I was.

It’s taken too long I know.
Want is like greed ‘cept it’s got heart and soul.
And it will gladly mislead you as long as you go keep buying it whole.
As long as you go.

Don’t you know
All this time I tried to be someone you’d see;
Someday to hear you say that I’m all you need.
And all this time I lied to be someone you’d see.
I’d smooth the rough edge of me;
I’d carve with fine cutlery.
‘Til I’d become someone but not much of anyone.
Now I’m half of who I was.
Yeah I’m half of who I was.
Yeah I’m half of who I was.
