Who Am I?

Sometimes I stop and wonder why;
Sometimes I sit alone and cry;
People think my life is great;
Sometimes I think it’s a big mistake.

Who…
	Am…
		I?

Deep down…
	In…
		Side?

Sometimes I want to drop out of sight;
Sometimes I want a different life;
People think I’m calm and cool;
Sometimes I think I’m the village fool.

Who…
	Am…
		I?

Deep down…
	In…
		Side?

Sometimes I question my resolve;
Sometimes I’m an enigma I can't solve;
People think together I am;
Sometimes I think I’m just fooling them.

Who…
	Am…
		I?

Deep down…
	In…
		Side?

I don’t have time to think this way;
I’ve got to get through another day;
I have people dependent on me;
I’ve got no time for self pity.

Deep down…
	In…
		Side..

I’m just…
	Another…
		Guy.
