Some say happiness is a burden As I lie here trying to attain Inside outside I'm nothing But the more I see through the more I have to gain. If at first you don't succeed it's normal. But the second time you're expected to perform. We perform, Stand up, listen, I'll tell you where we went wrong. Give me a reason to stop asking I know that some things can't be mine Inside outside I'm nothing And the layers crumble one piece at a time. If you expect me to go out there and shine every night You know there's something about that that just isn't right We perform Stand up, listen, I'll tell you where we went wrong
