[Verse 1]
I can remember the very first time I cried
How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside
All of my memories - good and bad - that's past
Didn't even take the time to realize
[Verse 2]
Starin' at the cracks in the walls
'Cause I'm waiting for it all to come to an end
Still I curl up right under the bed
'Cause it's takin' over my head all over again
[Chorus]
Do you even know who you are?
I guess I'm tryin' to find a borrowed dream or a superstar
I want to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
[Verse 3]
Lyin' awake watchin' the sunlight
How the birds will sing as I count the rings around my eyes
Constantly pushing the world I know aside
I don't even feel the pain, I don't even want to try
[Verse 4]
I'm lookin' for a way to become
The person that I dreamt of when I was sixteen
Oh, nothin' is ever enough
Ooh, baby, it ain't enough for what it may seem
[Chorus]
Do you even know who you are?
I'm still tryin' to find a borrowed dream or a superstar
Everybody wants to be
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
No
[Verse 5]
Sorry girl, tell a tale for me
'Cause I'm wondering how you really feel
I'm a lonely girl, I'll tell a tale for you
'Cause I'm just tryin' to make all my dreams come true
[Chorus]
Do you even know who you are?
Oh, yeah, yeah
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Oh, I wanted to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell, I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
I guess not, I guess not
Do you even know who you are?
Oh, I'm tryin' to find
A rising dream or a fallen star?
Oh, I have all these dreams
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
No, no
[Outro]
Do you even know who you are?
A rising dream or a fallen star?
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can remember the very first time I cried
How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside
All of my memories - good and bad - that's past
Didn't even take the time to realize
[Verse 2]
Starin' at the cracks in the walls
'Cause I'm waiting for it all to come to an end
Still I curl up right under the bed
'Cause it's takin' over my head all over again
[Chorus]
Do you even know who you are?
I guess I'm tryin' to find a borrowed dream or a superstar
I want to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
[Verse 3]
