It Ain't Easy Being Me Lyrics

There ought to be a town somewhere
Named for how I feel
Yeah I could be the mayor down there
And say welcome to sorryville
It wouldnt be on a map no where
You might say that it dont exist
But if you make enough wrong turns
Itda be hard to miss
There ought to a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me
I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline
Walk on over to the other side
Where I'd light a match
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames and wonder how I'm gonna get back
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am I self made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words thatll bring you back but
But I dont say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be
It aint easy being me
There oughta be a side show "act"
For freaks like me
I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button that says danger do not touch
Twice a day I'd mash it down and you can watch me self-destruct
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am I self made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that will bring you back
But I dont say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to become the jerk ive come to be
It aint easy being me
It aint easy being me
