It's an uncommon question for most
But for me it's the most common
I make mistakes, and I haven't much to boast
I feel like I've lost but people say I've won
So who am I?
I'd like to know before I die
It's hell to sit here wondering how & why
But sometimes I feel like I'm living a lie
It's hard when your success doesn't equal your mistakes
Sure I've taken a few shortcuts here and there
But I've always been true to myself, ignoring the fakes
Does that count? Does anyone even care?
I keep asking... Who am I?
I'd say I know like everyone else, but that'd be a lie
It's a question I just can't let die
How can I live without knowing which is my piece of the pie?
I've been broken and left unknown
Will I figure out who I am, or be left lost not found
Is there a chance, or have the seeds of fate already been sown
Somebody help before it buries me in the ground!
Who the hell am I?!
That's all I want to known before I live and let die
I've looked all around, and even up above the sky
But even the stars I've asked seem to lie
Maybe it's just better to let it go
Or maybe my identity will be known by someone new
Maybe a returning friend I'll once again come to know
Maybe the person that'll say to me... "I love you"
