Lyrics

"Must Be Hard (Being You)"
Yves Stilmant © 2025

[Verse 1A]
You're the star in every scene
Scripted lines and fake routine
Golden boy with plastic charm
Breakin' hearts without alarm
[Verse 1B]
Every mirror tells you lies
You believe your own disguise
Dressed in pride and soaked in praise
Feeding on your glory days
[Pre-Chorus]
You spin your tales like fairy dust
But underneath, it's smoke and rust
[Chorus]
Must be hard being you
Always right, and always true
World's a stage, and we're the crew
Just props to stroke your point of view
But hey, applause is overdue
Hope the spotlight comforts you

[Verse 2A]
You say "I care" like it's a game
Then walk away and shift the blame
You toss your love like coins for show
But take it back when feelings grow
[Verse 2B]
You light a match, then play the saint
Paint the cracks with shiny paint
Your sorry's just a sugarcoat
Sweet until it chokes my throat
[Pre-Chorus]
You fake a tear, then take a bow
But I've seen through your act by now
[Chorus]
Must be hard being you
Can't stand mirrors telling truth
Everyone's your stepping stone
But don't complain when you're alone
Guess karma's got a point to prove
Enjoy the silence in your room

[Bridge]
Your ego's got its own zip code
But cracks are showing in your show
You worship self like it's a shrine
But there ain't room for yours and mine

[Final Chorus]
Must be hard being you
Built a throne of "me, not you"
I'm done pretending you're the king
Let me know how that crown fits
Hope someday you face what's true--
But that sounds way too hard for you
