It's always early

It's always dark when I leave


I check myself in the mirror


And he looks a lot like me




It could be London


But it's following me back home

I'm not complaining


But I wish he'd just stay in Rome


Isn't always right, you know




They smile, they came


But they don't know my name

We only look the same


And they don't know my name




Oh, turn the lights off


Turn all the lights off


All this love surrounds me

But I'm still alone





Your expectations

I'm never gonna measure up


I'm not a hero


Though I never was taught enough




They're screaming at me


And I just wanna scream right back

They wouldn't believe it


Though we'd never do a thing like that


It's taken all I've got not to crack




They smile, they came


But they don't know my name

We only look the same


And they don't know my name




Oh, turn the lights off


Turn all the lights off

All this love surrounds me


But I'm still alone



I only have to play the part


But that part is only part of me

Once in a while, let down my guard


And it's hard, afraid of what you'll see



I didn't mean to disappoint


But I'm not who you think I am

Maybe not who you think I am




They smile, they came

But they don't know my name

We only look the same


But they don't know my name



They smile, they came

But they don't know my name


We only look the same

And they don't know my name




Oh, turn the lights off

Turn all the lights off

Oh, turn the lights off

Turn all the lights off




Oh, turn the lights off

Turn all the lights off


All this love surrounds me

But I'm still alone
