You can't take your eyes off me,
But there's something you don't see.
I am the one that you've been thinking of.
You're tearing at the seems but we'll make this right.
You see I am the one that you've been dreaming of.
If this is what you want from me,
You'll have to try harder than that
I want to know just what you see,
You must know it's not like that.
Do you think we have life easy?
I have to set you straight.
Our life is not as you think it is,
I hope you can see clearly now.
Don't waste your life trying to live someone else's.
We're staring at each other in the face,
When will you learn I'm not easy to replace.
Just watch yourself, I'm not the same, anymore.
I've been waiting for someone like you to come along
So I can say.
What you're thinking of me is all wrong,
Well at least most of it.
I'm sad to say I'm not the one,
You'll ever want me to be.
Don't waste your life, trying to live someone else's.
You can't take your eyes off me,
But there's something you don't see.
I am the one that you've been thinking of.
You're tearing at the seems but we'll make this right.
You see I am the one that you've been dreaming of.
You think you know just how this goes, don't believe what you've been told.
You know the truth but you tell the world,
We've got it all but we're barely breathing.
But there's something you don't see.
I am the one that you've been thinking of.
You're tearing at the seems but we'll make this right.
You see I am the one that you've been dreaming of.
