Lyrics

I tried to be Hercules
To get the world to notice me
I trained the lion with a whip
But I ended up getting bit

I don't believe I can be
As good as you want me to be
I don't belong here
The light's not reflecting right

Maybe you'll see right through me
I am just a fake
I have all these years to prove it
I don't have what it takes

I wore the mask I made
To hide the sweat upon my face
But I'm not the soldier you see
I'm just pretending to be

I don't believe I can say (I cannot say)
Anything good anyway
(Anything good anyway)
I don't belong with the stars
They're just up too far

Maybe you'll see right through me
I am just a fake
I have all these years to prove it
I don't have what it takes

Or maybe (Maybe)
I've seen too much doubt
And I'm down and out

Maybe you'll see into me
I am not a fake
I have all these years to prove it
I just need a break
