lyrics

Being someone else didn’t get you very far
The doors are shut, with comfort at the bar

Your current plight is plain to see
I hear these things that sadden me

You used to smile make people laugh
Really just a child at heart

Those angry eyes on your face
No satisfaction or a path to take

You told me that you'd change the world
Now you just repair the mould

Cheating lies and bankrupt promises
Makes you feel good inside

I know you've had a lot of hard times

I know you've had a lot of hard times

Look around and see yourself inside
Falling apart but you can't hide

The young and hopeless are your victims
With their undeveloped minds

Drinking, dancing, laughing
Feeling weak inside

Others seem to be your downfall
When you’re putting on a show

Change your voice to feel accepted
Like people do on the phone

Some said you should marry her
Just to know your state of mind

I hope one day you find greatness
Leave all of this behind

I know you've had a lot of hard times

I know you've had a lot of hard times

Look around and see yourself inside
Falling apart but you can't hide

You hide

Because you lie

You hide

You hide

You lied

You lie

Look around and see yourself inside
Falling apart but you can't hide

Look around and see yourself inside
Falling apart but you can't hide
