In the make-believe world I've known Lives a fella that I would like to be
With a heart that is made of stone Wish that he could be me
Then I'd turn my back on love And I'd give no pity or sympathy
Still I'd remain only me, only me, only me, only me
See the man I pretend to be Well protected, he never learned to cry
Cause the man I pretend to be Lives alone in a lie
But pretending is not real And the worst is better than make-believe
Now I deceive
Only me, only me, only me, only me
Only me
As hard as I try
As hard as I try to be
Lord knows I've tried to be hard
But I've failed
There's something inside of me calling me
Don't run away, stay, stay with love
See the man that I try to be
Watch him stumble and watch him fall behind
Watch him crumble inside of me
Drifting out of my mind
And his shadow slips away
And the sunshine bursting inside of me
Still I remain only me, only me, only me, only me
Only me, only me, only me, only me
Only me, only me, only me, only me, only me
