It's always early, it's always dark when I leave
I check myself in the mirror, and he looks a lot like me
It could be London, but he's followed me back home
I'm not complaining, but I wish he'd just stay in Rome
He isn't always right, you know
They smiled, they came, but they don't know my name
We only look the same, and they don't know my name
Oh, turn the lights off, turn all the lights off
All this love surrounds me, but I'm still alone
Your expectations, I'm never gonna measure up
I'm not a hero, no, I never was tall enough
They're screaming at me, and I just wanna scream right back
They wouldn't believe it, no, we'd never do a thing like that
It's taken all I've got not to crack
They smiled, they came, but they don't know my name
We only look the same, and they don't know my name
Oh, turn the lights off, turn all the lights off
All this love surrounds me, but I'm still alone
I only have to play the part, but that part is only part of me
Once in a while I damn my God, but it's hard, afraid of what you'll see
I didn't mean to disappoint, but I'm not who you think I am
Maybe not who you think I am
They smiled, they came, but they don't know my name
We only look the same, but they don't know my name
They smiled, they came, but they don't know my name
We only look the same, and they don't know my name
Oh, turn the lights off, turn all the lights off
All this love surrounds me, but I'm still alone
I only have to play the part, but that part is only part of me
Turn all the lights off, all this love surrounds me, but I'm still alone
