All these damn people 

Acting like they know me 

I’m so sorry that I’m 

Such a disappointment 

 

What did I do to deserve your hate 

You’re the one that thought you saw a familiar face 

 

You might have known a girl 

From ten or so years ago 

I’m so sorry that you 

Thought I wouldn’t grow 

 

What did I do to make you look that way 

You’re the one that thought you saw a familiar face 

 

You know I’m almost flattered 

I didn’t think it mattered 

What I became 

If I stayed the same 

Or if I changed 

Everything 

You know I’m no actor 

I’m only a familiar face 

 

For good or for bad 

Everyone thinks they know me 

But I can count on one hand 

How many I’ve told my story 

 

For better or worse 

Everyone wants some of this girl 

You recognize me? 

Is that a joke? 

 

What did I do to deserve your attention 

I don’t want to play 

Feel free to forget my face 

 

Oh, I should be flattered 

I didn’t think it mattered 

What I became 

If I stayed the same 

Or if I changed 

Everything 

Who cares if what I had first 

Is only a familiar face 

 

I don’t stand out, no 

I’m just someone everyone knows 

I feel myself fade into shadows 

 

My past is mine to erase 

But I can’t stand it when they say 

You have such a familiar face 

 

My head aches 

I’m Plain Jane 

And everybody knows me (this face)

From somewhere 

But no one knows all my names 

 

I’m just one more in the sea 

Losing my identity 

Until I’m no more than a memory (a familiar face)

From somewhere 

No more than a fading…
