[Verse 1]

Don't know what you think you saw

You didn't know at all

Lost sight of who you are

Keen to make a connection

Forced myself into dimension

Lost sight of myself

If I could force my heart, my ears, my mind

And eyes to get in line

Maybe I'd find something real

Not a fantasy so divine

Let myself down each time

Let myself down each time

[Chorus]

How could you be what I wanted to see

How could you be what I wanted to see

How could you be what I wanted to see

When my reality

Could never live up

Could never live up

To my fantasy

[Verse 2]

Revolution from disillusion

Hypnotizing and demoralizing

The pressure of the future

Too much for today

How many hours will I let slip away

Before I realize existing and living

Are not the same

Are not the same

[Chorus]

How could you be what I wanted to see

How could you be what I wanted to see

How could you be what I wanted to see

When my reality

Could never live up

Could never live up

To my fantasy

How could you be what I wanted to see

How could you be what I wanted to see

How could you be what I wanted to see

When my reality

Could never live up

Could never live up

To my fantasy
