Bad Actor
(专辑: I Am What I Am - 2010)
I've never been much at making believe* Don't have any tricks hidden up my sleeve. If life is a
comedy, where's all the
laughter? 'Cause here on the
stage I'm a
bad actor. I
don't know what you want me to know. So I'll take the
small parts in our family show. Tell me which hero you want me to play. How should I
feel, and what do I
say? Pretending to care, pretending to cry. You say I'll be there, and I
say I'll try. Second hand feelings are always a
factor, In my staring roll as a
bad actor. Please let me know what you want me to see. Where do you want me to be? In this old mirror, I'm just a
reflection, But I
might be brilliant if you'd give direction. I
have a
problem of knowing what's real. All my emotions I
borrow and steal. Faking my way through every day, And trying to act like it's better that way Pretending to care, pretending to cry. You say I'll be there, and I
say I'll try. Second hand feelings are always a
factor, In my staring roll as a
bad actor.
