Living a Lie 歌詞

When I was a boy My mother said Be careful, son The dreams in your head that you keep When you drift off to sleep Satisfy but they won't get you by Even as a man My father pleads Son, understand The schemes that run wild in your head Leave your future for dead In our eyes and they won't get you by You're living a lie Hear what I say You're wasting away Standing here my head is reeling I can't control the way I'm feeling Mother, father please forgive me For the way I'm living When I was a boy My mother said Be careful, son The dreams in your head that you keep When you drift off to sleep Satisfy but they won't get you by You're living a lie Hear what I say You're wasting away They won't get you by You're living a lie Hear what I say You're wasting away
