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
