lyrics

I know an actor; he’s got a bag filled with tricks. He’s seen all the oceans and knows everything.
But I can see through all of those rehearsed antics. See some try and fool you and think there’s nothing to it.

See after all those hours you might forget yourself. Look in the mirror and see someone else.

It’s true that your actions, they do speak louder than words. Take it from all of the liars and the tales that they told.
So what I’m not independent, but I can breathe on my own. And I’m not gonna thank you as if there’s something I owe.

But at least I’m real and here I’m standing. And I won’t hide my face behind a cell phone. You might forget who you are; you sing a tune I know but I don’t wanna know. You can fool everyone if you want, but you can’t fool me.

See after all those hours you might forget yourself. Look in the mirror and see someone else.
See after all those hours you might forget yourself. Look in the mirror and see someone else.
