This one, inspired by Death Cab For Cutie's song, Soul Meets Body

Wandering around
but my goals are aimless
There's solace in sound
but speech is often careless
And I know I'll never be found
If I take one more step onwards
I'll never be found
But I refuse to go backwards

Before you criticise
my rash decision to defy
remember that, no,
you don't know what it's like to be me
Before we analyse
our own good intentions, I
remember that
I don't know what it's like to be you

I wish I had the thread
to leave behind, unwinding
I have thoughts of you instead
but they are paralysing
And I know I'll never be found
If I take one more step today
I'll never be found
but I refuse to run away

Before you criticise
my rash decision to defy
remember that, no,
you don't know what it's like to be me
Before we analyse
our own good intentions, I
remember that
I don't know what it's like to be you

I hope I have the time to make it known to you,
I know my faults~
And to apologize for all my selfish actions,
And inaction~

Before you criticise
my rash decision to defy
remember that, no,
you don't know what it's like to be me
Before we analyse
our own good intentions, I
remember that
I don't know what it's like to be you

You~ You~ You~
You~ You~ You~

I don't know what it's like to be you
