Bad Actor |
| 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 |
