[short blues guitar intro] Have you ever been around someone, at being fake, their just a pro Have you ever thought for just a moment, that their putting on a show? [bridge to verses] [verses] I'm front and center, for all to hear and see I smile, I wave, I ask, like I care, but they don't Want the real me [bridge to chorus] [chorus] So, here I am I'm every bodies Bro I know I'm not myself. Why? I'm just putting on a show [bridge to verses] [verses] So how did I get here, with my team of so called friends Sycophants and hangers on, who disappear when it all ends. [bridge to chorus] [chorus] So, there I am No one wants to see you grow I play the role they ask me too. Why? Cause it's all about the show [bridge to verses] [verses] So why do I do this? When inside it's killing me Am I just that insecure, Is it strangers love, I need [bridge to chorus] [chorus] To please everyone around you To really make the dough You have to give up who you are. Why? I don't exist beyond the show If I'm true to who I am I'll Lose the friends and lose the dough But I'll sleep just like a king Why? Because who I am, is not a show Being true is not a weakness I guess that's all you really need to know. Don't forget how much you're worth Because your life. Is not a show
