Nobody told me that I'd be a happy face
Just trying to erase the traces of what came before me
The girl that I used to see somewhere buried deep
She's fallen asleep and I'm trying to wake her, set her free

Now is a never-ending thing
When one moment turns into another
Before I've had time to run from all the other ones
And it's so hard to live a dream
When the everything that they want you to be
Is anything but me

So much confusion circling inside my head
What this one and that one said
It's all an illusion
'Cuz I'm still the same person no matter how fast I run
I'm trying to hold on to where it is I've come from

Now is a never-ending thing
When one moment turns into another
Before I've had time to run from all the other ones
And it's so hard to live a dream
When the everything that they want you to be
Is anything but me, anything but me

I'm trying to hold on to where it is I've come from

Now is a never-ending thing
When one moment turns into another
Before I've had time to run from all the other ones
And it's so hard to live a dream
When the everything that they want you to be
Is anything but me
