It's Not Easy To Be Me

David Gray David Gray

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
It's not easy to be, me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About 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 it's 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 funny red sheet
Looking for special things

Inside of me, inside of me

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

I'm only a man in a funny red sheet

And it's not easy, oh, oh, oh
It's not easy to be me
