Ask Yourself lyrics

Well I've tried to live like

The way that you wanted me to

Never needed the proof

Just followed the rules

I pick up all the pieces and

I move my feet as fast as I can

I'm always falling behind

Just float in the lines

You want more and ambition's

Taken its toll on you

Well hey your confidence is

Fading with your youth

And you say that dreamers

Always get what they desire

Well I've found, the more

I want the less I've got

Is this the life

You've been waiting for?

Or are you hoping that you'll be

Where you want with a little more?

You're coughing blood again.

I know because I clean up

The mess every now and then

Fold the line along the seam

Force a smile and never

Say what you mean

You're in the promised land

In someone else's dream

If you want more

And you'll get there

Throw a quarter in the well

It's okay, you're fine

Ambition's not a crime

And you say that dreamers

Always get what they desire

Well I've found, that the more

I want the less I've got

Is this the life

You've been waiting for

Or are you hoping that you'll be

Where you want with a little more?

Well ask yourself

Is this the life

You've been waiting for

Well ask yourself

Is this the life

You've been waiting for

Well ask yourself

Is this the life

You've been waiting for

You hoping that you'll be where

You want with a little more

Well ask yourself

Is this the life

You've been waiting for

You hoping that you'll be

Where you want with a little more

Well ask yourself
