So exhausted with ego
And feelings that freeload
And leave me so empty
All the parties of people
Moving the needle
Obsessing, never-ending (doesn't really matter)

Watch me take it over, move your body over
Make a little room for me
See 'em at the top or leave 'em at the bottom
Focus on the come up, become someone
Movin' up the ladder doesn't really matter
As long as I'm in the lead
See 'em at the top, but leave 'em at the bottom
Focus on the come up, become someone

The more that I grow, the more that I've come to know
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Playin' this game, it's easy to lose both ways
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody

I know those eyes
Who the hell are you to me?
No pretending here (hmm)
If you look at me like that, I'll match it
Weighing up my worth, it's sad but true (sad but true)
Well, how could I judge you
When I'm doing the same thing?

Watch me take it over, move your body over
Make a little room for me (make a little room for me)
See 'em at the top or leave 'em at the bottom
Focus on the come up, become someone

The more that I grow, the more that I've come to know
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Playin' this game, it's easy to lose both ways
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody

Hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Uh, oh, oh

Purpose on a pedestal, lookin' back at you
Look what I have done, look what I can do
Ohh, mmm
And ah-oh, mmm
But imagine me having nothing to prove and nothing to lose
And have the courage to be nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody could hold me down

The more that I grow, the more that I've come to know
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
And it hurts to be nobody
Playin' this game, it's easy to lose both ways
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
(Hard to be someone, hurts to be nobody)

The more that I grow, the more that I've come to know
Yeah, it's hard to be someone (it's hard to be someone)
And it hurts to be nobody
Playin' this game, it's easy to lose both ways
Yeah, it's hard to be someone (it's hard to be someone)
And it hurts to be nobody

(Hard to be someone, hurts to be nobody)
