[Verse 1]
Should I try and be someone else today?
No one likes a sad-faced clown
Dig out a smile and put it on display
I don't wanna bring you down
Feeling like a kid in a dad's suit
Arrested development
You've been taking aim but you won't shoot
Am I just your white elephant?
Putting on a frown what a way to start, yeah
But I never want you to know
I'm sort of falling apart because
[Chorus]
I'm the type of human
Who wants you to like me
Yeah, I'm the type of human
Who wants you to think that I'm okay
[Verse 2]
I would love to be one of those people
Who couldn't give two shits about
What everybody else is thinking
But that could only be a
Pipe-chain for me cuz' I only
Feel a bit like that when I'm drinking
Stuck like a wasp in a coke can
Agony and ecstasy
But I can still find my home, man
If you're standing next to me
Putting on a frown but I'm losing heart, yeah
Still, I never want you to know
I'm sort of falling apart because
[Chorus]
I'm the type of human
Who wants you to like me
Yeah, I'm the type of human
Who wants you to think that I'm okay
[Bridge]
I get up to get down
I get in, I get out
I get high, I get low
Round my mouth make a scene
Waking up to a dream
Nothing is as it seems
Is it you, is it me?
I don't know, I can't see
Telling lies like the truth
In my eyes is the proof
I keep losing my youth
I'm a flea, I'm a fool
I'm the man, I'm the boss
I get lost, I get lost
I get lost, I get lost
I get lost, I get lost
[Chorus]
Cuz' I'm the type of human
Who wants you to like me
Yeah, I'm the type of human
Who wants to think that I'm okay
(I guess I'll never tell ya)
(Carried off, I get lost in my own worlds)
(Still, the darkness constantly haranguing me)
(I right don't know if I can see correct, what next?)
(Is it you, is it me? I don't know who to be)

I’d had the chorus for this one knocking around for a while but was never sure what to do with it.
It was originally about wanting to be like, and be liked by, other parents I knew from my kid’s school who seemed so much more together and grown up than I was.
That direction didn’t really go anywhe...
