Two Lives Is One Too Many

Do you know how hard it is
When you have to be two people
Different but the same
Just to keep everybody happy

They see me as a man, a good lad
That guy Ronnie, he's a good guy
My parents should be proud of me
That's an act, its killing me

The other me, the true person
I'm not really that man at all
No, because I'm really a girl
That is my secret to bear

I will need to find the strength
That will carry me through
Until that day I cast off the man
And I will end that double life

A double life is no good to me
It's not two lives, it's a half life
Hiding your feelings
Pretending you're somebody else
