Alter Ego

Do you really wanna know?
Well, then I can't wait to show you, baby
I guess that you could say
I have an alter ego

Inside I'm locked up in a shell
Waiting to get through this hell that I'm in
I guess you'd say I'm doing well
But I'm not

So here it is
What are you waiting for?

What do you want me to say?
I am not okay and I'm done
Making promises that I can't keep
And striving for the moon,
But I can't reach
What else can I do?
Follow every single rule?
I'm tired of the same old plot
I may look happy, but I'm not
What do you want me to say?

Can you see how I play
This little game you're falling for?
Sometimes I even think my
Name is a lie

'Cuz the real me isn't here
I'm not as strong as you believe, my dear
I'm really scared of my
Hundreds of fears

So here it is
No more make-believe

What do you want me to say?
I'm not okay and I'm done
Making promises that I can't keep
And reaching for the moon
Before I fall asleep
What else can I do?
Follow every single rule?
I'm tired of the same old plot
I may look happy, but I'm not
What do you want me to say?

Do you really wanna know?
Well, then I can't wait to show you, baby
I guess that you could say
I have an alter ego

I guess that you could say
I have an alter ego

What do you want me to say?
I'm not okay and I'm done
Making promises that I can't keep
And dreaming the unreal before
I fall asleep
What else can I do?
Follow every single rule?
I'm tired of the same old plot
I may look happy but I'm not
What do you want me to say?
