[Intro]
EbmToo many faces, too many faces, too many faces
[Verse 1]
YeahEbm, whaDdimt's your definition of success? (Ebmayy!)
I don't trust the Ddimthoughts that come inside my head Ebm(woo!)
I don't trust this Ddimthing that beats inside my chestEbm  
Who I am and who I Ddimwanna be cannot connect; Ebmwhy?
Don't think I Ddimdeserve it? You get no respect (Ebmwoo!)
I just made a couple Ddimmil', still not impressed
Let You Down goes Ebmtriple platinum, Ddimyeah, okay, okay, I guess (ayy!)
Smile for a Ebmmoment then these questions startin' to Ddimfill my head, not again!
[Chorus]
EbmI push away the Ddimpeople that I love the most; Ebmwhy? (woo!)
I don't want no Ddimone to know I'm vulnerable; Ebmwhy? (woo!)
That makes me feel Ddimweak and so uncomfortable; Ebmwhy? (ayy!)
Stop askin' me Ddimquestions, I just wanna feel aEbmlive
Until I Ddimdie—this isn't Nate's flow (woo!)
Just let me Ebmrhyme; I'm in disDdimguise
I'm a busy Ebmperson, got no time for Ddimlies; one of a kind
They don't Ebmsee it; I pull out they Ddimeyes; I'm on the rise!
I've been Ebmdoin' this for most my Ddimlife with no advice (woo!)
Take my Ebmchances, I just roll the Ddimdice, do what I like
As a Ebmkid, I was afraid of Ddimheights, put that aside
Now I'm Ebmhere and they look so surDdimprised, well so am I, woo!
[Verse 2]
EbmThey don't invite me to the Ddimparties but I still arrive
EbmKick down the door and then DdimI go inside
Give off that Ebm"I do not belong here" Ddimvibe
Then take the keys right off the Ebmcounter, let's go Ddimfor a ride
DdimWhy do y'all look mortified? (ayy!)
EbmI keep to myself, they Ddimthink I'm sorta shy, organized
EbmLet You Down's the only Ddimsong you've heard of? Well then you're behind (woo!)
EbmStory time; Ddimwish that I could think like Big Sean does, but I just Ebmcan't decide (aah!)
If I should Ddimstick my knife inside of Pennywise
[Chorus]
EbmI, I don't care what anyDdimbody else thinks—Ebmlies (haha!)
I do not Ddimneed nobody to help me—Ebmlies
I kinda feDdimel guilty 'cause I'm wealthy; Ebmwhy?
I don't Ddimunderstand, it's got me questionin' like, Ebm"Why?
Just tell me Ddimwhy"—not back to this flow
InEbmside I feel divDdimided
Back when I ain't had a Ebmdime, but had the Ddimdrive
Back before I ever Ebmsigned, I questioned Ddimlife, like, "Who am I, man?" EbmWoo!
[Verse 3]
Nothin' to me's ever Ddimgood enough
I could be workin' for twenty-four Ebmhours a day and think I never Ddimdid enough
My life is a movie but there ain't no Ebmtellin' what you're gonna see in my Ddimcinema (no!)
I wanna be great but I get it in the Ebmway of myself and I think about Ddimeverything that I could never be
Why do I do it though? EbmAyy, yeah
Why Ddimyou always lookin' aggravated?
Not a choice, you know EbmI had to make it
When they Ddimtalk about the greatest, they gon' probably never put us in the converEbmsation
Like Ddimsomethin' then I gotta take it
Write somethin' then I Ebmmight erase it
I love Ddimit, then I really hate it
What's the problem, Nathan? I don't Ebmknow!
I know I like to Ddimpreach to always be yourself (Ebmyeah)
But my emotions make me Ddimfeel like I am someone elseEbm  
Me and pride had madDdime a pact that we don't need no help
Which Ebmfeels like I'm at Ddimwar inside myself but I forgot the shells
EbmI hold my issues up for Ddimall to see, like show and tell
EbmA lot of people know me, but Ddimnot a lot know me well
EbmHold my issues up for aDdimll to see, like show and tell
EbmA lot of people know me, but Ebmnot a lot know me well
[Outro]
EbmToo many faces, too many faces, too many faces
