VERSE

Hey, I'm your life,

I'm the one who takes you there

Hey, I'm your life,

I'm the one who cares

They, they betray,

I'm your only true friend now

They, they'll betray,

I'm forever there

CHORUS

I'm your dream, make you real

I'm your eyes when you must steal

I'm your pain when you can't feel

Sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray

I'm your eyes while you're away

I'm your pain while you repay

You know it's sad but true

Sad but true

VERSE

You!

You're my mask!

You're my cover, my shelter!

You!

You're my mask!

You're the one who's blamed!

CHORUS

Do!

Do my work!

Do my dirty work, scapegoat!

Do!

Do my deeds, For you're the one who's shamed!

CHORUS

I'm your dream, make you real

I'm your eyes when you must steal

I'm your pain when you can't feel

Sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray

I'm your eyes while you're away

I'm your pain while you repay

You know it's sad but true

Sad but true

VERSE

Hate!

I'm your hate!

I'm your hate when you want love!

Pay!

Pay the price!

Pay for nothing's fair!

Hey!

I'm your life!

I'm the one who took you there!

Hey!

I'm your life!

And I no longer care!

CHORUS

I'm your dream, make you real

I'm your eyes when you must steal

I'm your pain when you can't feel

Sad but true

I'm your truth, telling lies

I'm your reason, alibis

I'm inside, open your eyes

I'm you

Sad but true
