Lyrics:
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

I've literally searched all over YouTube for an orchestral, singing version of this song. And Skylar's voice is beautiful! Thank you for this!!

[Nerd_Nation.]

As a massive Linkin Park fan, this cover has my approval. Chills all over.

[freedomamerica]

Knowing the battle Chester was fighting makes this version hit even harder. Beautifully done.

[teddp]

What a beautiful, different, melodic version this one is.

[jackielogan]

Linkin Park songs still remaining relevant to this day made me wish Chester recovered from his issues, be more open to his bandmates/buddies, and still be alive being the main vocalist who helped made Linkin Park famous.

[GhostlyTheRabbit]

Tommee Profitt Never Disappoints. He inspires.

[CLaudiusClemensJimmy]

skylar is just being skylar, she's sang with her soul and signatures that what make her SKYLAR GREY

[lavender.hibiscus]

bro why did that first chorus made me cry?😭😭it's like you've let go of everything after holding on for so long..and now chester was also gone..

[arielenergyhealer]

Holy moly! Leave it to Tommee Proffitt to make a song so dramatic that you stop everything to watch and listen, wide eyed!

[schneideriwnl]

Literally proof to what i am saying for decades now. Since i heard Skylar on Where'd You Go she is the only one that should do Covers of Linkin Park. ANGELIC VOICE!

[Slainshadow]

Thank you for taking the actual timing of this song into consideration. We can't replace Chester, but this rendition is the most pure version I've heard. This wasn't rushed and pitched up like the current version is, this is backed up with emotion and weight. Thank you for this.

[vhagarmusic]

CHILLLS LITERALL CHILLLSSS! Chester would be proud. Thank You for

[chrismoon]

No matter who covers it, this classic will never get old. 👏

[SonofaBlacksmith]

Chester is a legend! This song will never get old.

[maar]

Linkin Park's signature song😢 Beautiful and heartbreaking😢

[TwoWitchyMoons]

I've never cried over a cover the way I did listening to this. Chester would have been so proud 💜

[kaikouchickamatsu]

Tommee Profitt always delivers. Holy hell. And I love Skylar Grey's voice so it was an insta-click for me.

[tchagosz]

Skylar has a long time history with Linkin Park and such a beautiful voice. Awesome job, my girl!!!!

[edruceross]

around the time this song came out, i quit (after 3 semesters) my study at a major international Uni, then later enrolled into Art school, & after graduation, I am since, an actively exhibiting fine artist until today, with awards, travel grants & stuff. MAJOR LIFE IMPACT. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[vishnunarayanan]

Love how Skylar's in her viking phase
