Bad Actor

[Verse 1] I've never been much at making believe Don't have any tricks hidden up my sleeve If life is a comedy, where's all the laughter? Cause here on the stage I'm a bad actor I don't know what you want me to know So I'll take the small parts in our family show Tell me which hero you want me to play How should I feel, and what do I say? [Chorus] Pretending to care, pretending to cry You say I'll be there, and I say I'll try Second hand feelings are always a factor In my staring roll as a bad actor [Verse 2] Please let me know what you want me to see Where do you want me to be? In this old mirror, I'm just a reflection But I might be brilliant if you'd give direction I have a problem of knowing what's real All my emotions I borrow and steal Faking my way through every day And trying to act like it's better that way [Chorus]
