i i don't see
the reality in your dreams
or pictures of you on tv
i i don't mind
taking a chance leaving you behind
i'm sorry if that seems unkind
all your promises they turn into lies
no success and too much compromise
your grand illusion so convincing and real
the fame and fortune and a record deal
but now i realize
the truth does lie in your eyes
you always telling me to do what you do
to be what you be
as if i were you instead of me
mister big man
picking up your weight and throw it where you can
but where that weightless i won't stand
oh
all your promises they turn into lies
no success and too much compromise
your grand illusion so convincing and real
the fame and fortune and a record deal
now i realize
the truth does lie in your eyes
so what do you do now to fill the space
you think you can count someone into taking my place
tell them all the good things let them find out the bad
make them think it's the best they've ever had
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
