Just for anyone: I can really relate to this song of Madonna’s as I can with many others. I believe this song was released in 2003 I believe. I have leaned on her to be my voice when I have not been able to speak for so many years. I just want to post the lyrics because they might be helpful to someone else, not as part of my conversation unless someone is interested in discussing it.

I’m not myself when you’re around

I’m not myself standing in a crowd
I’m not myself and I don’t know how
I’m not myself, myself right now

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Don’t really know if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am

I’m not myself when you go quiet
I’m not myself alone at night
I’m not myself, don’t know who to call
I’m not myself at all

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Don’t really know if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too

I’m not myself when you’re around
I’m not myself standing in a crowd
I’m not myself and I don’t know how
I’m not myself, myself right now

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Don’t really know if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too
I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you
But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you
