Chris Knight: It Ain't Easy Being Me

There ought to be a town somewhere, named for how I feel<br />
Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say â€~welcome to Sorryville'<br />
It wouldn't be on a map no where, you might say that it don't exist<br />
But if you make enough wrong turns, it'd a be hard to miss<br />
<br />
There ought to a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me<br />
I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline<br />
And walk on over to the other side, where I'd light a match, sit and stare<br />
Through the smoke and flames, wonder how I'm gonna get back<br />
<br />
Why do I do the things I do?<br />
Was I born this way or am I self made fool?<br />
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark<br />
I need your love but I break your heart<br />
<br />
And I know the words that'll bring you back<br />
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack<br />
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be<br />
It ain't easy being me<br />
<br />
There ought to be a side show act for freaks like me<br />
I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee<br />
In a room with a big red button that says â€~danger do not touch'<br />
Twice a day I'd mash it down and you can watch me self destruct<br />
<br />
Why do I do the things I do?<br />
Was I born this way? Am I self made fool?<br />
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark<br />
I need your love but I break your heart<br />
<br />
And I know the words that bring you back<br />
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack<br />
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be<br />
It ain't easy being me, it ain't easy being me
