The award goes to me
For the greatest role you'll ever see
It'll go down in history
I'm really good at pretending
The award goes to me
For the song that I learned to sing
I let other people speak for me
I shut my mouth and didn't say a thing
This part that I play is exhausting
I'm running out of energy
Can't keep doing this for much too long
Can't keep doing this for much too long
No more confusion and drama
I'm running out of personas
Need to figure out where I belong
The award goes to me
For the show that I put on
Addicted to the applause
Forgetting what is reality
The award goes to me
I put on this amazing play
Critics say the part was made for me
But backstage I'm crumbling
This part that I play is exhausting
I'm running out of energy
Can't keep doing this for much too long
Can't keep doing this for much too long
No more confusion and drama
I'm running out of personas
Need to figure out where I belong
What happens when the audience fades
When no one's there to cheer your name
When the lights are turning off
And there is no more center stage
The curtains are closing
The credits are rolling
Who are you besides the roles you portray
This part that I play is exhausting
I'm running out of energy
Can't keep doing this for much too long
Can't keep doing this for much too long
No more confusion and drama
I'm running out of personas
Need to figure out where I belong
Where I belong
