Can't Be Me

Let me introduce myself
I'm everything you need
Your guardian Angel, your cheerleader
The reason you succeed
I'm a team player
The playmaker
That little voice inside your head
I lift you up
To find your way
Even if I lose myself instead

'Cause I can be your leader
I can be your queen
I can play the joker
And anything between
I can be your nightmare
I can be your dream
I can make you smile
Or I can make you scream
I can be anything, anything you need
But I just can't be me

No, I just can't be
I just can't be me

Each day I play my part
With perfect imprecision
Always pretending, seamlessly blending
Things I do, to just fit in
I'm in control
When I'm on a role
Should get an Oscar for the parts I play
I know what you want
I know what you need
And I'll be that for you today

Yeah, I can be your leader
I can be your queen
I can play the joker
And anything between
I can be your nightmare
I can be your dream
I can make you smile
Or I can make you scream
I can be anything, anything you need
But I just can't be me

No, I just can't be
I just can't be me

So take a good long look
At this picture of success
I set the pace, and won the race
But there's something I must confess
The face I show
You barely know
But it's the one that you expect
The me I hide
Down deep inside
Is the me you'll never accept

But I can be your leader
I can be your queen
I can play the joker
And anything between
I can be your nightmare
I can be your dream
I can make you smile
Or I can make you scream
I can be anything, anything you need
But I just can't be me

No, I just can't be
And you'll never see
I just can't be me
