"Different" by Linley Beckner (First Version)

Here's the first take of a song I'm writing. These are just the barest bones, no embellishments whatsoever, no bridge, no musical interlude, a few mistakes, etc... A very rough draft, if you will. Sorry the singing is hard to hear. I hope to add more to it later, but this is what I have so far...

Here are the lyrics:

Different (by Linley Beckner)

I have been here
Many times before
But I can't seem
To stop myself
Coming back here

So help me rise
Help me become
Something different
I was born to be
Different
Than this

I feel so low
[For no good reason / ] For no reason at all
And bittersweet
Memories
Pull me in
Hold me close
Let me go
I know

I'm not supposed to be
The one who cries
Over little things
Help me be
Stronger
Than I am

[And help me rise
Help me become
Something different
I was born to be
Different
Than this]

I will leave here
Without looking back
Easier said
Then done I know
But I've got to go

It's time to rise
Time to become
Something different
I was born to be
Different
Than this

I was born to be
Different
