Who Am I

Do you think I’m immune to pain, to heartache? Do you think I’ve never cried in the night? Do you think my life is easy? Just because I try to get things right? Do you think I don’t complain When things don’t go my way? Do you think I don’t get weary Of facing yet another day? Do you think I think I’m special? That I think I’m better than you are? Oh, if you only knew how wrong, That compared to me you’re a superstar. Most days I’d gladly trade places Some days I don’t want to be me If you and I could just swap faces Tell me, then, who would I be?
