Lyrics

Keeper

[Verse 1]

I wanna love, I wanna leave

I want you to love me

I want you to leave me

I wanna stand where I can see

I'm watching you love me

I'm watching you leaving me now

[Chorus]

I wish I could be somebody else

I wish I could see you in myself

I wish there was something inside me

To keep you beside me

And say what you really feel

You know I need something that's real

I wish there was something inside me

To keep you beside me

[Verse 2]

I wanna know if I could be

Someone to turn to

That could never hurt you

But I know what you think of me

Yeah, you had a breakthrough

And now I'm just bad news for you

[Chorus]

I wish I could be somebody else

I wish I could see you in myself

I wish there was something inside me

To keep you beside me

And say what you really feel

You know I need something that's real

I wish there was something inside me

To keep you beside me

[Bridge]

I should have told you everything

I never gave you anything

I should have told you everything

If I could give you anything

Then I would tell you everything

[Chorus]

I wish I could be somebody else

I wish I could see you in myself

I wish there was something inside me

To keep you beside me

And say what you really feel

You know I need something that's real

I wish there was something inside me

To keep you beside me

[Outro]

I should have told you everything

I should have told you everything

I should have told you everything
