What Must It Be Like? Lyrics

What must it be like

To not be under a microscope

All of the dang time?

I shouldn't ask cause you'd never know

To be under their watch (their watch)

Counting down the minutes

Staring at the clock

I wish you could admit it, just forget it

All their standards, and the pressure

It can get to even the most perfect

Of all persons, mental state worsens

You start to wonder if this happy act is worth it

They don't know about the darkest times

You've been through, all the lies, "just fine's"

When they asked "How are you?"

What must it be like?

"Good, and you too?"

What must it be like

To not feel micromanaged

All of the dang time?

Giving your opinions of my image

Going on long drives

Cause sometimes I need a mental break

Head in for the night

Exhausted and don't feel like being fake

All their standards, and the pressure

It can get to even the most perfect

Of all persons, mental state worsens

You start to wonder if this happy act is worth it

They don't know about the darkest times

You've been through, all the lies, "just fine's"

When they asked "How are you?"

What must it be like?

"Good, and you too?"

What must it be like (what must it be like)

To not have to lie

And apologize

When you didn't do the crime?

Didn't do the crime

All their standards, and the pressure

It can get to even the most perfect (you're so perfect)

Of all persons, mental state worsens

You start to wonder if this happy act is worth it (is it worth it?)

They don't know about the darkest times

You've been through, all the lies, "just fine's"

When they asked "How are you?"

What must it be like?

"Good, and you too?"

What must it be like

To not have to lie

And apologize

When you didn't do the crime?

What must it be like?
