Lyrics
[Verse 1] They come to me. I say yes.
They come again. I do.
I have a face I wear for it.
I wear it all day too.
I do not say no.
I say it in my mind.
It comes up to my tongue
and I leave it behind.
[Pre-Chorus] All of it done on time.
Nothing out of line.
I am the one you rely on.
And I cannot find me.
[Chorus] Is this me?
Or the one I play
eight hours a day,
one more day, one more day?
I have played him so long,
now I cannot say.
[Post-Chorus] I am afraid of the day
I come apart and they see.
Look at me. Look in my eyes.
Tell me you know it is me.
[Verse 2] Work, and then more work.
Polite. On time. Precise.
The best one they've got.
They tell me so twice.
The mirror at six a.m.
I know everything he does
his hours, his face, his voice.
I don't know who he was.
[Pre-Chorus] All of it done on time.
Nothing out of line.
I am the one you rely on.
And I cannot find me.
[Chorus] Is this me?
Or the one I play
eight hours a day,
one more day, one more day?
I have played him so long,
now I cannot say.
[Chant / solo] Which one am I?
Which one am I?
Tell me now
which one am I?
[Bridge] I used to take him off at night.
I used to know the line.
Now I wear him home.
Now I cannot find mine.
I do not look below.
I let that go.
I am afraid to see
there is no one in me.
So I come to you,
and only you, to say
which one of them is me.
I lost it on the way.
[Chorus] Is this me?
Or the one I play
eight hours a day,
one more day, one more day?
I have played him so long,
now I cannot say.
[Outro] I am tired of the play.
I cannot do one more day.
I do not need you to fix me.
I only need you to stay.
Look in my eyes.
Tell me who you see.
Look in my eyes
and tell me I am okay.
