Lyrics
Sell Out
I envy you
Everything you love is right here
What was it your were looking for?
I can't be you
And what I love is so far away
Why do I keep wanting more?
I can see my reflection in your eyes
Don't tell me you can't see it
Don't you tell me lies
Chorus
I used to be be bold
I had something great
Now I am polished and put up for sale
I can't believe
Everything you love is right here
Why are you not wanting more?
Can you have
Nothing more than simple dreams
That most would not settle for?
I can see my reflection in your eyes
Don't tell me you can't see it
Don't you tell me lies
Chorus
I know how to sell out
But will I want it when I get it
But will I want it when I get it
Will I want it when I get it
Will I want it when I get it
Chorus
