I try to be patient, I try to be kind
But I’m short of the mark most of the time
I can be generous and I can be mean
But mostly I fall down the cracks inbetween
I’m too good for the sinners, too bad for the saints
But it’s no use pretending to be something I ain’t
I’ve spent too much of my life trying to be someone else
Now I’m spending the rest just being myself
And sometimes that’s easy, sometimes it’s hard
Some days I’m ready, some days I’m off guard
I can put on a brave face and wear the disguise
I know how to smile when I’m crying inside
I’m too good for the sinners, too bad for the saints......
I try to be righteous, I try to be good
But my best intentions get misunderstood
I thought getting older would make me more wise
But it still hasn’t happened as hard as I try
I’m still too good for the sinners, too bad for the saints
But it’s no use pretending to be something I ain’t
I’ve spent too much of life trying to be someone else
Now I’m spending the rest just being myself
