Intro

    
  
 
 

Verse 1

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 2

You 
you're my mask
you're my cover, my shelter
you 
you're my mask
you're the one who's blamed
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

Bridge

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

you know it's sad but true

Solo

 

Verse 3

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 here
hey 
i'm your life
and i no longer care

Chorus 2

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 reasoned alibis
i'm inside, open your eyes
i'm you 
sad but true
