Lyrics
Alone with the TV
And everyone I'm meant to be
I can't tell who's selling what to whom
So I'll just take one of each
I lie here because it's easy
To believe real life is hard
If I had the breaks, and had the looks, then
CHORUS:
That one would be me
And that one would be me
If the world were how it's supposed to be
That one would be me
One word is a standout
They say it so much that it must be true
"More"
More will be enough for you
Real beauty makes me nervous
Like a plate too hot to touch
And if only love didn't take so much
CHORUS
One in the door
Means so much more
Than it should to me
It's been so long
Since I've felt strong
And I can see through me
But I know there's strength in numbers
And if mine would just come up
The person that you thought I was, well . . .
CHORUS
