Baffled, bewildered
How one can care so much
About myself more than I
But the sad fact is
That I never really did

I never really tried
To put in the effort
You have it set
You made it
Don't you realize?

You could be my idol
You're not an actor
But more important
You are the director
From my pessimism

And it's a sad thought
That even if I tried
I could never ever
Be the man you are
Today
