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

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

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 tell the world we've got it all
But we're barely breathing

You know the truth but you tell the world
You tell the world we've got it all
But we're barely breathing
You know the truth but you tell the world

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
