Lirieke: Kate Voegele. A Fine Mess. Who You Are Without Me.
You put me up on a pedestal
I've got nowhere to go but down
You expect the impossible
And it's too much to carry around
Well, you tell me I'm beautiful
It feels empty and I don't know why
But it seems that you're certainly
Something I'm not gonna find
I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are, yeah who you are without me
Wide awake lying next to you
Being careful to get the words right
See it hurt me to tell you this
But it kills me to keep it inside
And I'm at one with the present tense
Making plans is overrated to me
And I don't speak in guarantees
Or at least not the kind that you need
I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are, yeah who you are without me
Well, I still believe in happy endings
But this just isn't where I wanna spend mine
I'll be leaving now I've said it
I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
And find out who you are
I'm not a mirror, look inside yourself
I'm not a hero, you know too well
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are, yeah who you are without me
Who you are without me
I've got nowhere to go but down
You expect the impossible
And it's too much to carry around
Well, you tell me I'm beautiful
It feels empty and I don't know why
But it seems that you're certainly
Something I'm not gonna find
I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are, yeah who you are without me
Wide awake lying next to you
Being careful to get the words right
See it hurt me to tell you this
But it kills me to keep it inside
And I'm at one with the present tense

And I don't speak in guarantees
Or at least not the kind that you need
I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you got me wrong

Who you are without me
