This song plays over the film’s end credits and expresses the predicament of both Cyrano (Peter Dinklage) and Christian (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), who have collaborated to deceive Roxane (Haley Bennett) about her love’s identity.
[Verse 1]
Why can't I say anything?
It never has no meaning
I can't breathe, I can't speak
I don't know what I'm feeling
[Chorus]
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I don't know what to do
[Verse 2]
You have no idea, do you?
But I do
I just don't know what to say
'Cause I'm so, so afraid
[Chorus]
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I'm somebody just like you
[Bridge]
I know you won't understand what I'm going through, but I do
Sometimes I think you're my twin, sometimes I'm so confused
[Chorus]
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I don't know what to do
[Outro]
I just don't wanna lose you
But I do
I always do
