Straight Up and Down Lyrics

i try to see
well
i guess that i'm blind
it's fine
with me
cause i'm
going to
keep on trying
and i've made disappointment
my very best friend
i wait and see
who your going to be
and when

we don't want you to be yourself
you see
we want you to free yourself
it does no good to pretend
that you are free
i can not see you
i love you but
it drags me down
i never felt like
i feel when i'm crying
i don't care where
i'm living
or i'm dying
we just want you to free yourself
you see
we want you to free yourself
it does no good to pretend that you are me
why don't you be you
i love you but
you drag me down

cause i know it so well
how i never could tell
who's my very best friend?
and i know you so well
i could make you be me.
