"Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself" was the Bee Gees second single from their 1971 album Trafalgar. Written and sung by Barry Gibb, this slow dramatic piano ballad was described by Robin in the liner notes of Tales from the Brothers Gibb box set as "...the dawning, or the closing, of the 'gotta find out who I really am' era."

The single was released in October 1971, four months after the number 1 smash hit "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" and was editied down to 3:50 by removing the last verse and chorus. Considering that "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" was a number 1, it was surprising that this did not even make the top fifty. With the success of "...Broken Heart", ATCO records was choosing ballads exclusively for Bee Gees singles during this time.
