Well that's what I was always led to believe anyway.
What?
I know, OK, alright
Well this is what I really think

I tried so hard to live a lie
pretending I was some tough guy
 
But now I've had enough. 
I can't livethat way no more, now
 
Were you feeling always feeling edgy? 
Yes
Afraid the mask would slip and they'd see? 
I carried so much weight on me
 
I never truly was myself
Just an amalgam off the shelf
A total acting role then.
Yeah, I could have won an Oscar, yes I could
And did you ever get found out?
All the time
Did that compound your sense of doubt?
Totally. It was so hard not being real
 
Let me tell you how for years I was waking up in fear. Seemed like everything I said, seemed all wrong
What would they think of me, no personality?
A no one from the start
 
It's alright, It's alright Kevin
You're OK, You've just been missing
You've been running for so long, 
It can't go on no more
It's alright, It's alright Kevin
Just go slow, and don't be rushing
I don't think that I can stand this pretense anymore
 
Be true to yourself
Well that's what they said
But no one ever tells you how
What is it you want to say?
I've tried so hard to be a man
And now I don't care if I can
My life has been just one long fight
 
Let me tell you how how with ease, you can break from your disease. Abandon all old thoughts and start afresh. Embrace some new ideas, and live a life of ease, But first just hear me say
 
It's alright, It's alright Kevin
You're OK, You've just been missing
You've been running for so long, 
It can't go on no more
It's alright, It's alright Kevin
Just go slow, and don't be rushing
I don't think that I can stand this loneliness no more

And now, and now, I know. I know
There's nowhere to go. And I'm so glad you're saying it
 
It's alright, It's alright Kevin
You're OK, You've just been missing
You've been running for so long, 
It can't go on no more
It's alright, It's alright Kevin
Just go slow, and don't be rushing
I don't think that I can stand this loneliness no more
 
I thought that, that's the way any life would be
I thought I'm always going to be lonely
No, but you've got to see
