Might have been a little further down the road
If I'da shook more hands and sold my soul
Little, little less of the truth be told
But it's easier being me
May have had a little more cash in hand
If I'da kept that job with my old man
Stuck to the same old hand-me-down plan
But it's easier being me
'Cause I can wear the mask and hide the scars
Lead the broken in the dark
And roll this heart of mine back up my sleeve
And I can try like hell to water down
What I am before it pours out
But I've never been a fan of make believe
Yeah, I can play the part
And make it hard
But it's easier being me
I could've put on a smile and shined my boots
Built a wall she could never see through
Just to be some guy she never really knew
But it's easier being me
'Cause I can wear the mask and hide the scars
Lead the broken in the dark
And roll this heart of mine back up my sleeve
Yeah, I can try like hell to water down
What I am before it pours out
But I've never been a fan of make believe
Yeah, I can play the part
And make it hard
But it's easier being me
Yeah, I can wear the mask and hide the scars
Lead the broken in the dark
And roll this heart of mine back up my sleeve
I could play the part
And make it hard
Yeah, I could play the part
But why make it hard
When it's easier being me?
Oh, it's easier being me
