[Verse 1]
Can't you see I don't wanna be me?
The world is closing in on me and I can't breathe at all
Used to be a fire deep inside me
I could take the world over
Now it seems that everything that I do
I know it doesn't matter

[Chorus]
Walking around when I'm down, when I'm down
When I'm downtown
Stranger, please don't walk with me
Go away, come on, baby
What can I say? Walking away
'Cause the dream becomes a nightmare
And I feel you dreaming too, oh

[Verse 2]
All in all, I don't wanna call you
It's not about the things you think, it's what you do, you
Used to be a person I admired
You could take the world over
Now it seems that everything that you do
You know it doesn't matter

[Chorus]
Looking around when I'm down, when I'm down
When I'm downtown
Other people look at me
Look away, come on, baby
What can I say? Running away
When the dream becomes a nightmare
'Cause I know you're dreaming too, oh
[Chorus]
Walking around when I'm down, when I'm down
When I'm downtown
Stranger, please don't talk to me
You talk too much, come on, baby
What can I say? Running away
'Cause the dream becomes a nightmare
And I know you're dreaming too
But you don't care so maybe I don't
