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

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

And do, do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do, do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
It's sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain when you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true

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 there
Hey, I'm your life
And I no longer care

And I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
It's sad but true
I'm your truth when telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you

And it's sad but true
I'm you
Sad

I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
And it's sad
But true
