first i wake up, to be me again, with nothing to say and noone to blame!
 then i can?t do the things i adore, ?cause i?ve lost all the passion that i used to live for....
 i wish i still had the fire inside of me, so i could see the picture that i used to see........

 ?cause i feel it as it slips away.....and i try the best i can, but it won?t stay!
 ?cause you know it, we all fade away and we try the best we can but it won?t stay..?cause it
 is me...and it is real....but i hate me!

 ev?ry word?s been said before, ev?ry feeling?s been felt, nothing new to explore...how can i
 believe that i?ve got something to say, when ev?ry answer?s a question leading me astray!
 hey what?s so great about this life anyway, you get to learn how to live, then you just fade
 away.....i wish i still had the fire inside of me, so i could see the picture that i used to
 see.......

 ?cause i feel it as it slips away.....and i try the best i can, but it won?t stay!
 ?cause you know it, we all fade away and we try the best we can but it won?t stay..?cause it
 is me...and it is real....but i hate me!

 i never thought i could be this way, i never really thought i could feel this way, how dare i not
 believe in me (?) i?m giving up on ev?rything i used to be...my strenght is in my head...and i?m
 not dead, no i?ll never be, ?cause i?ll always come back again!!!

 ?cause i feel it as it slips away.....and i try the best i can, but it won?t stay!
 ?cause you know it, we all fade away and if we try the best we can we?ll make it stay..?cause
 it is me...and it is real....and i love ME
