Riding high on your accomplishments 

And always claim 

"Self-made, I'm the one because I'm getting paid 

Now I'm my own god, and this is my world 

I'm at the top uh-huh I can't be stopped" 

Well now don't you see that you're creating your own misery? 

Come back down so you can see 

It's not what it seems to be 

It's just another empty dream 

One that leaves you with nothing 



When will you see 

It's time to wake up and change 

It's just an empty dream 

Your life is too good to waste 

And it never lasts 

Don't be trapped by yourself 

Face your past, face to face 



Let's get deeper and go a little further into the past 

You live this way to hide your pain 

When no one else is there 

Your smile and confidence, it fades 



When will you see 

It's time to wake up and change 

It's just an empty dream 

Your life is too good to waste 

And it never lasts 

Don't be trapped by yourself 

Face your past, face to face 



So wake up, life's too short!
