Lyrics Edwyn Collins – Someone Else Besides

I’m not who you think I am
I’m someone else besides
Someone forced to hide behind
This pitiful disguise

There’s nothing in your world
That I freely recognise
But then again I’ve always been
Hellbent on compromise
But now it’s time to break away
Now don’t look so surprised
I think you’ve known it all along
I’m someone else besides

I’m someone else besides
I’m all that you despise
Shout it from the roof
I’m the living proof
That can’t be denied
I’m someone else besides

Even in my darkest hour
I knew that I’d survive
Today I’ve finally seen the light
Exposing all your lies
Tomorrow I will take that chance
You’ll never jeopardise
I’m not who you thought I was
I’m someone else besides

I’m someone else besides
I’m all that you despise
Shout it from the roof
I’m the living proof
That can’t be denied
I’m someone else besides

Look to the future
Forget the past
Give me the love
That is built to last

‘Cause I’m someone else besides
