lyrics
I used to be the greatest thing this world had ever seen
But now I'm powerless, just trying to get by and thinking back
I remember why I did just what I said I was going to
Not to make you look away but only
So you could see just what was happening
It wasn't really meant to lead to any change of views
All I can do now when I sleep is chase down someone else's dream
And that's not what I'm used to
I used to speak a little louder, now I've quieted down
I keep on promising that I am moving on, and I'm okay
I keep saying while I'm thinking otherwise, but what else can I do
If nothing you might as well take me
Back to where I was waiting patiently
Content and happy even with no hope of rescue
All I can see now when I sleep is chasing someone else's dream
And that's not how it used to... how it used to be for me
You may call this home, but it's nowhere I'd consider living
You may try to convince me along the lines of contrary
And think you're doing me a favor
But all you've really done is given me another chance to let you down
Relearning all these things I realize
I can't be one to make complaints, I'll need to pay my dues
And what I see now when I sleep is that I'm following my dreams
It's something I'll have to get used to
Something I'll have to get used to...
Another thing I'll have to get used to
I'd still be this, I'd still be that
If I didn't used to
