someone else's skin

sometimes I feel
like I'm in someone else's skin
people mistake me for somebody else
and they're waiting for me to be him
and do everything they say
and then I look the other way
sometimes I feel
like I'm in someone else's skin

sometimes I wait
for someone to listen to me
instead of some stranger
of which everybody agrees
the person they have in mind
is an entirely different kind
sometimes I wait
for someone to listen to me

          help me out here
          I could use a hand
          everybody wants someone
          that I can't understand

sometimes I feel
like I'm in someone else's skin
and no matter which way I turn
I'm a crime and  sin
I'm sad that they'll never see
the person inside of me
sometimes I feel
like I'm in someone else's skin
