Why Can't I Just Be Me?

[verse 1] Wouldn't it be nice if everything made sense? If life came with a manual If you didn't need to try at all But things just don't work out that way we all have our own part to play whether we know it or not it's all part of a big plot [Chorus] I keep crying... crying over me! If life's just one big game Why can't I just be free? I keep crying... crying over me! If I just get one chance Why can't I just be me? [Verse 2] If it's so fucking easy Why can't it be me? It's like you're playing with a deck of cards and I'm the joker Have to keep up the facade just like Poker Why can't I just be normal? Understand all the rules - act all formal [Bridge] What's obvious to you is a hint to me so you might as well say what you mean! Cause I'm not an asshole - just a little slow But I'll always be there for you - you know Just a little patience is all I need I'm a little more shy than just a Swede Despite all the happiness I've brought... Tomorrow's just another battle to be fought... [Build] I keep crying... crying over me! If life's just one big game Why can't I just be free? I keep crying... crying over me! If I just get one chance Why can't I just be me? [Post Bridge Chorus] I keep crying... crying over me! If life's just one big game Why can't I just be free? I keep crying... crying over me! If I just get one chance Why can't I just be me? [Chorus] I keep crying... (Crying) crying over me! If life's just one big game Why can't I just be free? (be free) I keep crying... crying over me! If I just get one chance Why can't I just be me?(me) [Outro] Why can't I just be me...?
