Lyrics:

This song might be just about love
Poor choices, peer pressure or all of the above
It's something I thought I had to
Achieve to be accepted, and better be soon

I saw the people that I met, those that were my age
The ones I'm compared to, I felt the need to emulate
And even though a part of me didn't really feel that way
It seemed to be a step I had to take

Like a part I had to play

I took all the feelings I was supposed to grow
I bottled them up, afraid that they would show
How to deal with this attraction? At the time I didn't know
How could I face it? Could I let it flow?

But I felt confusion in my mind,
Instructions unclear, something wasn't right
I tried to handle this all by myself,
believing that independence means staying in my shell

A part I had to play
The need to change
The reason for my mistake
And a feeling to convey

I needed to figure out how to deal with my emotions
I had to grow up, and get over the delusions
I got to move on, gaining a lesson
Learned about myself, through the pressure
And as I'm struggling to sing about those days
I hope you can find something you can relate
Well, I will think my efforts weren't all in vain
If, at least, I'll find a way to communicate

A part I had to play
The need to change
The reason for my mistake
And a feeling to convey

The role I couldn't take
The mask I've thrown away
The pointlessness I face
In forcing myself to relate
