G                         Am7                  G                 Am7
   Well yesterdays eyes, see there colors fading way.
   They see there sun, and it’s turning gray.
   You can’t share in a dream you don’t believe in.
   If you say that you see and pretend to be me
   You won’t be then

   So how can you ask if I’m happy going my way.
   You might as well ask a child at play.
   Well there’s no need to discuss or understand me.
   I won’t ask of myself to become something else.
   I just be me.

       (Repeat 1st verse)
