Ask yourself

Well I´ve tried to live like the way that you wanted me to.
Never needed the proof, just followed the rules.
Well, I pick up all the pieces and I move my feet as fast as I can.
I´m always falling behind, just float in the lines.
You want more and ambition´s taken its toll on you.
Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth.
And you say that dreamers always get what they desire.
Well I´ve found, the more I want the less I´ve got.
Is this the life you´ve been waiting for?
Or are you hoping that you´ll be where you want with a little more?
You´re coughing blood again.
I know cause I clean up the mess every now and then.
Fold the line along the seam.
Force a smile and never say what you mean.
You´re in the promised land in someone else´s dream.
If you want more and you´ll get there.
Throw a quarter in the well.
Well, it´s okay, you´re fine, ambition´s not a crime.
And you say that dreamers always get what they desire.
Well I´ve found, the more I want the less I´ve got.
Is this the life you´ve been waiting for.
Or are you hoping that you´ll be where you want with a little more?
Well ask yourself.
Is this the life you´ve been waiting for, well ask yourself.
