Lyrics
Someone Else?s Life
Sit down next to my tv
Reminds me who I wanted to be
When I was young
I had many dreams
I?d be a star and save the world
Reach inside my heart and soul
All those dreams
All those hopeful fantasies
Now and then I catch myself
Wasting time watching someone else
Are my dreams a memory?
I?m living someone else?s life
Someone else?s dream
Forgetting all the memories
Of who I used to be
I?m living someone elses life
Someone else?s dream
I know I should be living
For someone else but me
Now and then I visualize
The star I would become
So I drink a little bit
And wonder when it all went wrong
I have a loving family
So why do I feel empty
Trying to find a reason
To feel sorry for myself
Should I wait for my God
to take this empty life away
or should I search within my soul
Chorus
And I analyze and criticize
Everyone around me
Why can?t I reach the sky above
Chorus
