You can lie, about what you make You can lie about the risks you take Surely you can see what's down the road If you can't mess up then you should know You've got to be yourself You can't be anyone else If you can't be yourself You'll be alone She can try, to get close But there's things She'll never know You've got to be yourself You can't be anyone else If you can't be yourself You'll be alone You can't see her friends have come and gone But the loneliness it lingers on and on and on You've got to be yourself You can't be anyone else If you can't be yourself You'll be alone
