Barely Breathing

You can't take your eyes off me
 But there's something you don't see
 I am the one that you've been thinking of
 You're tearing at the seems
 But we'll make this right, you see
 I am the one that you've been dreaming of
 If this is what you want from me
 You'll have to try harder than that
 I want to know just what you see
 You must know it's not like that
 Do you think we have life easy?
 I have to set you straight
 Our life is not as you think it is
 I hope you can see clearly now
 Don't waste your life
 Trying to live someone else's
 You can't take your eyes off me
 But there's something you don't see
 I am the one that you've been thinking of
 You're tearing at the seems
 But we'll make this right, you see
 I am the one that you've been dreaming of
 We're staring at each other in the face
 When will you learn I'm not easy to replace?
 Just watch yourself
 I'm not the same, anymore
 I've been waiting for someone like you
 To come along so I can say
 What you're thinking of me is all wrong
 Well, at least most of it
 I'm sad to say I'm not the one
 You'll ever want me to be
 Don't waste your life
 Trying to live someone else's
 You can't take your eyes off me
 But there's something you don't see
 I am the one that you've been thinking of
 You're tearing at the seems
 But we'll make this right, you see
 I am the one that you've been dreaming of
 You think you know just how this goes
 Don't believe what you've been told
 You tell the world we've got it all
 But we're barely breathing
 You know the truth but you tell the world
 You tell the world we've got it all
 But we're barely breathing
 You know the truth but you tell the world
 You can't take your eyes off me
 But there's something you don't see
 I am the one that you've been thinking of
 You're tearing at the seems
 But we'll make this right, you see
 I am the one that you've been dreaming of
