I see you going through the motions looking like you know exactly where you’re going
But you don’t know [you don’t know]
Your eyes are wide and you’re smiling, telling everyone around you you’re alright
But they don’t know [no they don’t know]
It’s all fun and games until you realise you’re the one that’s being played
[Did you know?]
And now the mirror’s showing you a face that you don’t recognise at all anymore
[Where did you go?]
Did you know it doesn’t have to be like this
I see you trying hard to shrink yourself down, hoping that nobody will notice you’re around
[Do they know?]
Isn’t it funny that the only time you’re high is when you’re busy kicking yourself down?
[Do they know?]
Why can’t you see, you’re getting nowhere, nowhere running on empty?
[You know it]
And now the mirror’s showing you a shell of who you thought you were supposed to be by now
[Who are you now?]
Did you know it doesn’t have to be like this?
