Hey (hey), I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey (hey), I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They (they), they betray
I'm your only true friend now
They (they), they'll betray
I'm forever there

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain whilе you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true

You (you), you'rе my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You (you), you're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do (do), do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do (do), do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
