HARD TO PLAY
External pressure has a hold on you for a long time
No motivation, no self respect, ambition's a hard word to define
You gained respect instead of hate, a virtue you once admired
But deep inside of you it hurts not to be who you are
Sometimes it's hard to play
Your whole life long you wore a mask in order to disguise
Performed a role, deceived the truth Reality mixed up with lies
As the time flew by the role you played took over your whole cursed life
The perfect stranger in the mirror doesn't look like you
Looking back in anger at chances you missed
The future was all yours
You had the opportunity to be yourself, just yourself
