Paper nerve, thin skin, counterfeit begging to fit in
Look around, they're not your friends
We're not your friends
(We're not your friends)
♪
Manufactured, not a man, that's how you've always been
Keep your head low, fall in line, that's your only plan
You got the lines, all memorized, only say what we want to hear
You try so hard just to be seen, but we wish you'd disappear
So can we start new? Meet the real you?
You're wearing a disguise they can see right through
Give it your all, and I can sit back and watch you fall
Ready set go, time to show
Who you really are behind the charm you borrow
I already know, I'm gonna be the one to say I, I told you so
♪
Can't be left alone, devoid of confidence
Common place approach to life, lack of common sense
On my last nerve, put my patience to the test
Not burying this hatchet unless it's in your chest
I found myself but it took a while
I never changed for the sake of style
I may be hated 'cause I stayed true
But who the hell would wanna be you?

Life long a wannabe
Live for the pageantry
Done with you
