Someone Else's Dream

A dark reflection is always staring back at me
A constant question - Is this really how it has to be?
Have I lost my way
Do I have to stay

Living someone else's life
Dreaming someone else'sdream
Feeling someone else's pain
It's slowly killing me
Thought I knew myself, who I was
I believed in me
Now that's gone, I can't go on
Dreaming someone else's dream

There are moments I see a different possibility
Oh, to change direction
Be the person that I want to be
Is it all too late
Have I sealed my fate

By living someone else's life
Dreaming someone else's dream
Feeling someone else's pain
Slowly killing me
Thought I knew myself, who I was
I believed in me
That's gone, I can't go on
Dreaming someone's dream
