ev'ry day passes by, without a low, without a high....
first i wake up, to be me again, with nothing to say and no one 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
strength 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!!!
