No Good At Being You - Original Version

Hello
Goodbye
And thanks for stopping by

Please close the door (On your way out)
So you don't see me cry

It's my time
Time to shine

Hope I don't forget my lines

Cause when the world is crashing down
The script says I'm just fine!

I'm good, how are you?
It's nice to see you, too

Why do this ritual we do?
When everyone knows it's not true?

I envy you
The things you do

The social norms I wish I knew
Oh, I'm sorry I'm no good at being you

See, I never auditioned for the role
I was cast to play

But I can't show that I'm unprepared
Or I'll be their feast today

So smile and wave
Don't misbehave
And one day you'll walk out fine

Leaves me right there
And then we can just
Don't forget your lines

Sore thumb, no fun!

We had a real good run
But now it seems our time is up
They saw behind the curtains

Now the world knows all of me
The things I wish I wouldn't be
Oh, I'm sorry I'm no good at being you
Oh, I'm sorry I'm no good at being you

Oh, I wish I was good at being you
