Some die while they're young way before their time has come Some make a difference some make history but behind that smile their life's a mystery The great pretender so sad your eyes loved by millions still you couldn't disguise Genius nothing's ever easy Genius nothing could ever please you Just a boy sent to school all alone Another country another way while his family is still back home No one to talk to no one to tuck him in so shy and a unsure made a mind set to win Somebody to love was never enough a life full of excesses a tragic d**h as such Genius nothing's ever easy Genius nothing could ever please you You lived your life so extreme your art was like something I've never seen You threw the big party you lived your life when all was said and done You paid the price You recorded a cla**ic mesmerized us all you kept a "straight" face fooled us all God knows for how long you had the disease you fought back hard it didn't bring you on your knees In the end you couldn't keep up the fight in the end you gave up one night A fairytale and you were the king you could not prevail But you made my heart sing Genius nothing's ever easy Genius nothing could ever please you
