Trying to Be the Sun

You can't walk into a room
Without feeling obligated
To be the life of the party again

You can't stand to look around
And see anybody with a frown
So you turn on the same old song and dance

Even if you're at the end of your road
You can't let anybody know
'Cause you're too busy
Being everybody's everything

So have fun trying to be the sun
Chasing everybody's blues away
Good luck trying to keep it up

It would never be enough
And your days are never done
When you're trying to be the sun

I know that you're meaning well
But it's not hard for me to tell
That you don't have the same joy inside

I know without a doubt
That you're close to burning out
But you can't even let yourself give in

Yeah, I know that you're at the end of your road
But you can't let anybody know
'Cause you're too busy
Being everybody's everything

You'll never see who you are
When you're trying to be who you're not
