THIS… IS MY WORLD
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
WHERE LOSING EVERYTHING IS SOMETHING YOU EXPECT-
JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK.
AND HOPE- Ha! HOPE‘S JUST A PASSING THOUGHT,
AS YOU SNEAK PAST EACH NEW DISASTER
AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT.
[Modulate]
MY WORLD
ALWAYS STUCK HERE IN MY WORLD
WHERE NO ONE EVER UNDERSTANDS THE THINGS YOU DO

OR CARE FOR
EVEN THE ONE WHO‘S BEEN THERE ALL ALONG
JUST GIVE IT TIME
YOU‘LL LOOK UP
SHE‘LL BE GONE, TOO.

EACH DAY I LIVE A LIFE
THAT I NEVER ASKED FOR
BUT I MUST DESERVE!

What else WOULD EXPLAIN THE YEARS
YOU GAVE OVER AND OVER WITH NOTHING TO SHOW (PAUSE)
ALL THOSE WEEDS THAT YA PLANTED
EVEN THEY WOULDN‘T GROW! (PAUSE)

THE FEW THINGS YOU BUILT FELL APART LONG AGO (PAUSE)
NOW LOOK AROUND-
YOU‘LL NEVER HAVE- YOU‘LL JUST OWE (PAUSE)
AND THAT HANDFUL OF TIMES YOU JUST MIGHT FEEL PROUD
SOMETHING INSIDE TELLS YA you‘re not allowed!
NOT IN MY WORLD.

AND NOT ONE DAY GOES BY THAT I DON‘T DREAM
OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
AND WONDER WHAT IT WAS THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE

STANDING IN MY WAY.

BUT (Moment) A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW
IF I MADE JUST ONE DREAM HAPPEN (Pause)
IF ONE MORNING I WOKE UP
