I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless

Lost under the surface

I don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure

Of walking in your shoes



[Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow]

Every step that I take is another mistake to you



I've

Become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you



Can't you see that you're smothering me

Holding too tightly

Afraid to lose control

'Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you



[Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow]

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

[Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow]

And every second I waste is more than I can take



But I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me

With someone disappointed in you
