Lyrics
Verse 1 Verse 2 Verse 3
Hey, I'm your life. You, you're my mask. Hate, I'm your hate.
I'm the one who takes you there. You're my cover, my shelter. I'm your hate when you want love.
Hey, I'm your life. You, you're my mask. Pay, pay the price.
I'm the one who cares. You're the one who's blamed. Pay, for nothing's fair.
They, they betray. Do, do my work. Hey, I'm your life.
I'm your only true friend now. Do my dirty work, scapegoat. I'm the one who took you there.
They, they'll betray. Do my deeds. Hey, I'm your life,
I'm forever there. For you're the one who's shamed. And I no longer care.
Chorus 1 & 2 Chorus 3 Chorus 4
I'm your dream, make you real. I'm your dream. I'm your dream, make you real.
I'm your eyes when you must steal. I'm your eyes. I'm your eyes when you must steal.
I'm your pain when you can't feel. I'm your pain. I'm your pain when you can't feel.
Sad but true. I'm your dream. Sad but true.
I'm your dream, mind astray. I'm your eyes. I'm your truth, telling lies.
I'm your eyes while you're away. I'm your pain. I'm your reason, alibis.
I'm your pain while you repay. You know its sad but true. I'm inside, open your eyes.
You know its sad but true. I'm you.
Sad but true. Sad but true.
