“Something I Could Never Be” is an honest and introspective take on the desire for something that is unobtainable. This song sees Tony make his debut as a solo artist in a non-instrumental setting with his poignant and emotive riff acting as the heartbeat for this pop piano ballad. Collaborating wit...
[Verse 1]
I wish I could be normal but what does that even mean?
I wish I could be smaller, taller and everything in between
I wish I could be patient, ‘cause they say that it’s a virtue
But I just want a quick fix, trade me in for someone new
[Pre-Chorus 1]
‘Cause it all seems perfect in my dreams
But when I wake up I’m still me
[Chorus 1]
Does anybody have it all?
Can anybody set me free?
When the midnight falls, I turn myself on me
It hits me like a drop of ink, clouding everything I see
But if I’m being honest
All I ever wanted was something I could never be (Mhm)
[Verse 2]
Back when I was younger, doubt knocked at my door
Asked me if I’m worthy and filled my head with words
Like shouldn’t I be stronger and that boys shouldn’t cry
If beauty’s for beholders, could you lend me your eyes?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
‘Cause it all seems perfect in my dreams
But when I wake up I’m still me
[Chorus 2]
Does anybody have it all?
Can anybody set me free?
When the midnight falls, I turn myself on me
It hits me like a drop of ink, clouding everything I see
But if I’m being honest
All I ever wanted
[Bridge]
Is to be okay not being okay
Maybe it’s right to go the wrong way
Imperfection is just perception
[Chorus 3]
‘Cause no one really has it all
Nobody can set me free
When the midnight falls, I won’t turn on me
I’m setting fire to the dark, lighting up the truth at heart
Finally, I’m honest, there’s no love in wanting
Something I could never be
[Outro]
(Mhm) Something I could never be
(Mhm) Something I could never be
(Mhm) Something I could never be, mm-hmm
