Our Lives

We walk by after a long show
You yell insults as we crawl in the limo
We face each other to talk and one of us cries
You may not realize a part of him just died

People don't know what we go through
You say you understand, but do you?
We lost control of our lives and can't get it back
One little mistake and we fall through the cracks
If we were someone else, would anybody care?
How could we have all we've ever wanted and still feel like nothing's there?

We may seem perfect when we're in magazines or on the radio
But you wouldn't believe how hard it is not to let it show
Never having a break from trying to make you smile
We just want to live our dream then go back to being ourseleves for a while

Have you ever wanted something very badly
And for it you would die?
Have you ever been upset or hurt
But were determined not to cry?
We only wish more people would understand

Welcome to our lives
