Hangin on for dear life
I couldn't live up to my own hype
I stopped believing my own lie
And it scares me to think
I don't have it in me anymore

When the dream becomes a nightmare
And you're trying to get some sleep
All the things I thought I wanted
They never wanted me, they never wanted me

We talk of dreams and reality
I'd rather be awake than I would asleep
I'd rather be home than on the go
But if I never try
Well then I suppose I will never know

When the dream becomes a nightmare
And you're trying to get some sleep
All the things I thought I wanted
They never wanted me, they never wanted me

When your ideas are too expensive
And everybody wants what you're selling for free
When the dream becomes a nightmare
Well who's it gonna be, who's it gonna be
Still hangin on for dear life
I couldn't live up to my own hype
I stopped believing my own lie
But it scares me to think
I don't have it in me anymore
