Like a picture ripped from a storybook
Got it easy, I got it made

There's a golden road laid out before me
Everyone how they adore me like a diamond
In the sun

Did you just waste your breath
Asking me how I feel today?
Do you really wanna know?

I'm completely unconnected, constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion in the middle of the ocean
Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down
That's how I feel

I know I signed up for this game
Where everybody knows my name
And they own a little piece of me

My happiness fell off the track
And I'd do anything to get it back
Give this all I'd give this all away

Did you just waste your breath
Asking me how I feel today?
Is that a place you wanna go?

I'm completely unconnected, constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion in the middle of the ocean
Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down

Then you see me
You say you don't even know me
Couldn't pick me out of a lineup
The girl you know is so far gone

And I'm in hiding living life undercover
Smiling face for the camera
Well, I'm not long for this world
Ohh, ohh, ohh

I'm completely unconnected, constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion in the middle of the ocean
Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down
That's how I feel

When you see me
Say you don't even know me

Like a picture ripped from a storybook
Got it easy, I got it made
