Be Myself Again Lyrics


Let me introduce myself
I'm a woman that you’ve never seen
You might know me from somewhere else
As someone that I’ve never been
I gave everything to play the game
My soul fell apart at the seams
I fell down like a house of cards
When somebody pulled the queen
‘Cause you could spend your life
Lookin’ for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what’s real and what’s projected
Had I known what I lost
What I gained, what it’d cost
I’d still give what remains
To be myself again
You must believe me when I say
Don’t live someone else's design

Turn it around like a photograph
The writing's been there all the time
Now you can have all these hopes and dreams
The ones I can’t use anymore
I don’t know what it is you lost
But I hope you got what you came for
‘Cause you could spend your life
Lookin’ for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what’s real and what’s projected
Had I known what I lost?
What I gained, what it'd cost
I’d still give what remains
To be myself again
Sometimes I wanna leave right now
Sometimes I wanna cry out loud
I wanna let it all hang out
But I don’t wanna let you down
Sometimes I wanna just lay here
Sometimes I wanna disappear
I wanna show you all my fear
But I don’t want to let you down
‘Cause you could spend your life
Lookin’ for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what’s real and what’s projected
Had I known what I lost
What I gained, what it'd cost
I’d still give what remains
To be myself again
To be myself again

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Eric Benét Jordan (born October 15, 1966 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American R&B and gospel singer. His mother's maiden name is his middle, in a scenario similar to Beyoncé.

Benét's father loved classical music and inspired an interest in music in his son. By his teens, Eric had formed a vocal group with his sister and cousin called "Benét." The group released a self-titled album in 1992 but only sold 70,000 copies possibly due to a lack of proper promotion by Capitol Records.

Also in 1992, Benét's girlfriend, Tami Stauff, gave birth to a daughter they named India. The couple's happiness was short-lived when 25-year old Tami was killed in a car accident on April 24, 1993.

In 1994, Benét signed with Warner Bros. Records, releasing his solo debut album, True to Myself, in fall (1996). His next album, A Day in the Life, was released in 1999; its first single, "Georgy Porgy (featuring Faith Evans)" received significant airplay, but the second single, "Spend My Life With You (featuring Tamia)", became a smash hit. "Spend My Life With You" rose to number one on the American R&B charts, was certified gold, and nominated for a 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group. The album, A Day In The Life also won a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Album, Male. Benét also recorded for Earth, Wind, and Fire's 30th anniversary CD.

Benét has also been active as an actor; he had a recurring role on the television program For Your Love (1998 - 2002). He made his film debut in Glitter (2001).

He became engaged to actress Halle Berry in 1999, and they married in January 2001. The couple separated in 2003 and have since divorced.

Eric Benét and Manuela Testolini were married in the early evening [July 31st]. Eric and Manuela revealed that they're also expecting their first child together.

Eric Benet Takes on First Major Acting Gig in 'Trinity' “Trinity Goodheart,” a film about a visitation from an Angel that leads to substantial discovery of awareness and earth shattering faith questions.

The film is based on an original screenplay by Rhonda Freeman-Baraka centered around a 12-year old girl on a mission to reunite her disjointed family, announced by the producer Rick Eldridge.

Eric Benét also has a new album Love & Life
