It's Not Easy To Be Me Lyrics by David Gray

It's Not Easy To Be Me

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
the better part of me

I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
and it's not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
fall upon my knees
find a way to lie
'bout a home I'll never see
it may sound absurd
but don't be naive
even heroes have the right to bleed

I may be disturbed
but won't you concede
even heroes have the right to dream
and its not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
well its alright
you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
men weren't meant to ride
with clouds between their knees

I'm only a man
in a silly red sheet
digging for kryptonite
on this one way street
Only a man
in a phoney red sheet
looking for special things
inside of me

Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me

I'm only a man
in a phoney red sheet
I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man
in a phoney red sheet

Its not easy

It's not easy to be me.
