I built a castle out of trees and pretty scenes
I woke up and it was missing
It wasn't real, it wasn't real
I loved a woman who turned out to be
An ideal thing, I woke up and she's different
Oh wow
It wasn't real
It wasn't real

I've been saying things I don't believe
I've been doing things that just ain't me (or is it me?)
But knowing that this can continue
But I keep on living the same way

Trapped in the future, that's so far ahead
I live the past and I'd rather pretend
It isn't real, it isn't real
A version of self that erases thе mirror
So I changed my Appearance
And go out for dinnеr with people
It hurt to be noticed
And they talk just alike and they argue for thrills
It's just never too real

I've been saying things I don't believe
I've been doing things that just ain't me (or is it me?)
Been knowing that this can continue
But I keep on living the same way

But you didn't know me then
While I wasn't a nobody's friend
I wanted what all men want
To be in good company
And go around breaking things
And never think about fixing
Can't let it go now, won't let it go
I been living the type of life I see in moves
It's unsustainable
I've been practicing on a new accent, new stories
Might be more relatable
While I end up with the same damn clothes on
I thought of so individual
Went to the East, make sure you take some pictures
You know it's all about the visual
(Pretty pretty things)

I've been saying things I don't believe (I can't be another)
I've been doing things that just ain't me (or is it me?)
Been knowing that this can continue
But I keep on living the same way
I've been saying things I don't believe
I've been doing things that just ain't me (or is it me?)
I'm selfish for my independence
But I keep on living the same way
