I tried to be myself
Cuz there's no one else to blame
I tried the easy way
But then things just weren't the same
The road to nowhere is easily confused
With everything I tried to do
The simple way was not the path I always chose
But every thorn must have a rose
I tried to tell you
But you won't listen
Everything is not all right
It's time to act amused
Act like nothing's going wrong
You'll stab me in the back
I'll just write another song
[Chorus]
Cuz there's no one else to blame
I tried the easy way
But then things just weren't the same
The road to nowhere is easily confused
With everything I tried to do
The simple way was not the path I always chose
But every thorn must have a rose
I tried to tell you
But you won't listen
Everything is not all right
It's time to act amused
Act like nothing's going wrong
You'll stab me in the back
I'll just write another song
[Chorus]
