Blancmange - I Tried to Be You Lyrics

I wore your clothes
To make me feel
Make me feel better
I wore your clothes out
So I could feel
Like a man

I wore your clothes
Hid who I am
Hide what I can
So I felt like a man

I tried to be you
But being you's not easy
I wore myself out
Trying to be you.

I tried to be you
But being you's not easy
I wore myself out
Trying to be you.

So I tried on your clothes
When there really wasn't time
Like the void, scared myself away
I tried, I tried, I tried, I failed.
Actor with a script
Absorbing lines, becomes
By one method or another
Immersed
Himself left behind

I tried to be you
But being you's not easy
I wore myself out
Trying to be you.

I tried to be you
But being you's not easy
I wore myself out
Trying to be you.

Behind a curtain
A self hid
I tried to be you
But being you won't do
I wore your clothes out
Hid who I am
I wore your clothes
To make me feel like a man

I tried to be you
But being you's not easy
I wore myself out
Trying to be you.

I tried to be you
But being you's not easy
I wore myself out
Trying to be you.
