I tried to be myself Cuz there's no one else to blame I tried the easy way But then things just weren't the same The road to nowhere is easily confused With everything I tried to do The simple way was not the path I always chose But every thorn must have a rose I tried to tell you But you won't listen Everything is not all right It's time to act amused Act like nothing's going wrong You'll stab me in the back I'll just write another song [Chorus]
