Like a stranger in this town, I was running out of time
Tried so hard to find some love and peace of mind
And nothing’s what I’ve got
So I came to realize that I might just take a chance
If everything I thought of has been all but right
It’s time to give the opposite a try
Cause I can’t be what I want to be
It’s hard enough to be a simple man
And I can’t see what I want to see
I’m starting to get used to falling down and down
For every single day is the same old story
Cause I’m the one who’s feeling so sad and lonely
And I can’t wait to be the opposite of me
By avoiding common sense I turned my failure to success
Though it seems absurd I’m getting the suspicion
This could be my new religion
Now I’m happy when I’m sad, I’m the sanest when I’m mad
Heading for the bottom takes me to the top
It’s crazy but it’s just the way it goes.
Cause I can see what I want to see
The mirror’s always hanging upside down
And I can be what I want to be
My heart is beating faster than the speed of sound
For every single day is the same old story
Cause I’m the one who’s feeling so sad and lonely
And I can’t wait to be the opposite of me
I can’t give you what you want
So wish me well and take it all
I knew my luck could never lasts forever
Cause I can’t be what I want to be….
For every single day is the same old story…
Cause I’m the one who’s feeling so sad and lonely
And I can’t wait to be the opposite of me
