Woot! Openmic week 64! 


Seriously, this contest just gets better and better, and I am so happy to see this community growing every week! Keep it up everyone! 

This is one of my favorite Bayside songs. I screwed up a couple times, but I am not going to get too bummed about it haha I just really had a lot of fun with this song. I hope you enjoy it! To anyone that takes the time out of their day to watch/listen to this cover, THANK YOU. Thank you thank you thank you :) I really appreciate it!

Lyrics:

This isn't who I am.

From confidence to self doubt in 60 seconds, storming stages and stereos from here to there.

Trying to prove that I belong. Trying to win approval from people that I don't know.

I look so strong when the weight of all the world don't take it's toll. I'd choose my side if I believed in what was right, but I'm all wrong.

I'm not larger than life, I'm not taller than trees. Do I mean what I say? Is it just this disease? Or I'd never go home.

Never telling the truth, how this life eats away, or admitting I'm fake.

And I'm questioning if this whole thing was worth it, to die for it all alone.

I look so strong when the weight of all the world don't take it's toll. I'd choose my side if I believed in what was right, but I'm all wrong.

(instrumental break)

Just don't tell me this doesn't mean the world. Cuz my ears would bleed, and my heart would hit the floor.

I look so strong when the weight of all the world don't take it's toll. I'd choose my side if I believed in what was right, but I'm all wrong.
