There aught to be a town somewhere named for how I feel.
Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say "welcome to Sorryville."
It wouldn't be on a map no where, you could say that it don't exist.
But if you make enough wrong turns it'd be hard to miss.
There aught to a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me.
I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline.
I'd walk on over to the other side and there I'd light a match.
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames and wonder how I'm gonna get back. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/chris_knight/it_aint_easy_being_me.html ]
(Chorus)
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.
I know the words that'll bring you back but
I don't say nothing as I watch you pack.
I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me.
There aughta 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.
Oh, why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way, 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 to get you back
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack.
I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be.
It ain't easy being me.
It ain't easy being me.
This songs means that a person does not want any emotional attachement so put your big girl panties on and move on down the road to someone who will really care for who you are and what you stand for.
