My life is a lie
Too hard to believe
I walk like a shade
A sorry deceit
I keep the lie alive
Every day, every hour
I'm made of painted glass
And if only I could burst…
Oh can't you show me what it's like
Make me feel that I am
Oh can't you make me feel alive
A little while
Daydreaming a dream
Always out of reach
And trudging on
And never to cease
Somebody wake me up
This is heading nowhere at all
I'm worth my weight in dirt
And my time is running out
Oh can't you show me what it's like
Make me feel that I am
Oh can't you make me feel alive
A little while
Oh can't you show me what it's like
Make me feel that I am
Oh can't you make me feel alive
A little while
A little while
My life is a lie
