What Makes Me

[verse 1]
I'm staring at what I've been missing
Crying behind my tears

I've never felt so happy
I've never felt so next to nothing

The scariest part of this
Your honesty pulls right through me

I'm closer than anyone
But it feels like you're slipping
Slipping away from me

[chorus]
This is where it starts
Stronger than before
What you are
Makes me hate what I am

[verse 2]
It's never been so bright
It feels like nothing is here

Shadow standing beside me
Assuring me of my fear

Do I care too much
To be what you are

Do I want too much
To be what I'm not

While I'm falling with you
I'm falling apart

[chorus]
This is where it starts
Stronger than before
What you are
Makes me hate what I am

[close]
Erasing what has been
I can't be what I am

We'll never be so strong
In the way of your friends
In the way that your friends go on

Go on...
