My Name - Matthew Morrison

It’s always early

It’s always dark when I leave

I check myself in the mirror

And he looks a lot like me

It could be London

But he’s followed me back home

I’m not complainin'

But I wish he’d just stay in Rome

He isn’t always right, you know…

They smile, they came

But they don’t know my name

We only look the same

And they don’t know my name.

Oh, turn the lights off

Turn all the lights off

All this love surrounds me

But I’m still alone

Your expectations,

I’m never gonna measure up.

I’m not a hero,

I know I never was taught enough.

They’re screaming at me,

And I just wanna scream right back

They wouldn’t believe it

I know he’d never do a thing like that.

It’s taken all I’ve got not to crack.

They smile, they came

But they don’t know my name

We only look the same

And they don’t know my name.

Oh, turn the lights off

Turn all the lights off

All this love surrounds me

But I’m still alone

I only have to play the part.

But that part is only part of me

Once in a while, let down my guard

But it’s hard, afraid of what you’ll see.

I didn’t mean to disappoint

But I’m not, who you think I am

I’m maybe not, who I think I am

They smile, they came

But they don’t know my name

We only look the same

But they don’t know my name.

They smile, they came

But they don’t know my name

We only look the same

And they don’t know my name.

Oh, turn the lights off

Turn all the lights off

Oh, turn the lights off

Turn all the lights off

Oh, turn the lights off

Turn all the lights off

All this love surrounds me,

But I’m still alone…
