lyrics

I am Brian Wilson
And I am Mike Love
I am every contradiction
That you could think of

I am optimistic,
Borderline naive
Or else I am a cynic,
Never know who to believe

Show me what I’m missing
Tell it to me plain
Shatter the illusions
That I judge myself against
’Cause it’s hard to know yourself
Without an honest friend

Pride is not the monster
I thought that it would be
It’s much more like a whisper
That drowns out reality

Bound up altogether
With the faith that I call mine
Is every inclination
To steal, to cheat, to lie

Show me what I’m missing
Tell it to me plain
Shatter the illusions
That I judge myself against
’Cause it’s hard to know yourself
Without an honest friend

It’s hard to know yourself
Without an honest friend
'Cause you’re the one who knows
What I’m really up against
So don’t hold back, my friend
(It's hard to know yourself)
Don’t hold back, my friend
(It's hard to know yourself)
Don’t hold back, my friend
(It's hard to know yourself)
