Lyrics
someone else's life"
P. Orbeck
sometimes seems like
i'm living someone else's life
i look in the mirror
and it's hard to recognize
myself anymore
times i think i
can see that girl i left behind
looking back through my sad eyes
and i wish that i could find
my way back home
and i'm going down in flames
living with the pain
trying to find a way out of
someone else's life
used to know how to
turn my dreams into reality
even went on tv
knew i would succeed
but this doesn't feel like success to me
and i'm going down in flames
living with the pain
trying to find a way out of
someone else's life
gotta find a way out
gotta find a way out
of this life
oh this life
cuz i'm going down in flames
living with the pain
trying to find a way out of
someone else's life
someone else's life
someone else's life
gotta find a way out
gotta find a way out
of this life
someone else's life
