Well that's what I was always led to believe anyway
What?
I know, OK, alright
Well this is what I really think
I tried so hard to live a lie
Pretending I was some tough guy
But now I've had enough
I can't livethat way no more, now
Were you feeling always feeling edgy?
Yes
Afraid the mask would slip and they'd see?
I carried so much weight on me
I never truly was myself
Just an amalgam off the shelf
A total acting role then
Yeah, I could have won an Oscar, yes I could
And did you ever get found out?
All the time
Did that compound your sense of doubt?
Totally. It was so hard not being real
Let me tell you how for years I was waking up in fear
Seemed like everything I said, seemed all wrong
What would they think of me, no personality?
A no one from the start
