Love me for me It never works Am I an actor With the role of my life?
Longing for someone Craving for more Running from places Where nobody cared
So I’ll please you like actors do Change my colors So you like my reflection
Chorus: Love me for me never works Actors, that’s what we learn But I’ll say I love you for you Cause we both wish it was the truth If only it could be the truth But that’s just like what actors do
I’ll be your friend Someone who listens I won’t ask the wrong question Won’t ask you to change But if you don’t like my colors I can adapt It’s what I’ve been doing For my whole life
You think that you know me I’ve been trained the whole time To be there when you ask Getting used to the punches
Disappointed with my decisions If I don’t ask you first Disappointed when I act too safe And there is no surprise
So to please you like actors do I changed my colors Traded a piece of myself
Chorus
They say the hardest part is to play yourself
