IT’S NOT EASY TO BE ME I DREAM WHEN I WAKE UP I WAKE WHEN I GO TO SLEEP PRETTY UNCONFORTABLE, WATCHING INSIDE OF ME I SEE JUST WHO I’M NOT IS IT MY FAULT? IT’S NOT EASY TO BE ME I WANT TO BE EVERYONE LIVE EVERYTHING I’M THE ONE SUPPOSED TO BE ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE ALWAYS JUST IN TIME IT’S NOT EASY TO BE FREE IF YOY NEVER GET ENOUGH, UNABLE TO STOP AND TOO ASHAMED, AND SO MUCH SHY SO I SPREAD THIS THIN SMILE I NEVER GET SATISFIED AND I’ LL NEVER CRY OUT I WILL NEVER BREAK OUT I BUILD MY OWN TOYS I’M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE WITHOUT I’M A DROP IN MY SEA I’M THE CLOUD OVER ME AND FOR EVERY LEAF THAT’S FALLING FROM A TREE I FEEL THE GUILT IT’S NOT EASY TO BE ME LOCKED INTO A BULLETPROOF SHELL TRAPPED ON THE WRONG SIDE NOWHERE I CAN HIDE FARAWAY I RUN BUT… WHERE? I’M DOING CIRCLES I’M FINDING NO ONE IT’S NOT EASY TO BE FREE IF YOY NEVER GET ENOUGH, UNABLE TO STOP ALL THE QUESTIONS OF TODAY… I CUT WITH A COLD SMILE THAT NEVER CAN SATISFY AND I’ LL NEVER CRY OUT… SO CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE MAYBE PRESIDENT MAYBE LOST AND DAMNED MAKE ME LOVABLE MAYBE DANGEROUS MAYBE INDIFFERENT FUNNY SERIOUS I’M AN EMPTY CAGE GOT MY SOUL TO RENT CHOOSE ALL FURNITURES PAINT ON EVERY WALL MAKE ME SOMETHING ELSE MAYBE PRESIDENT MAYBE LOST AND DAMNED MAYBE NOT ME YET MAY I BE WITH YOU MAY I GROW UP, GROW UP, GROW UP… AND BREAK OUT I BUILD MY OWN TOYS…
