Scattered by the soles of my feet
Are the pieces I'm still pickin' up
Spent a year tryna crash my car
And never bein' brave enough
Well, I don't know what you told her
But I know what you didn't
And I'm not ashamed to say
That knowing you're afraid
Gets me through the day every day
Every day
Pull the mask off, your disguise
I was the one you couldn't have
You stole my hope, and still I rise
I bet you didn't expect that
Dream taker
Nothing compares to me, and you know it
Dream killer
No, nothing compares to me
Forced to face up to your wrongs
And choosin' not to make it right
Just running away at the first sight
Of someone not choosin' to follow you
And never again
Will I put my faith in the fraud of a man
What a sad excuse
With his sad excuses
And no conscience at all
No conscience at all
(Never again, never again)
Pull the mask off, your disguise
I was the one you couldn't have
You stole my hope, and still I rise
I bet you didn't expect that
Dream taker
Nothing compares to me, and you know it
Dream killer
No, nothing compares to me
Pull the mask off, your disguise
I was the one you couldn't have
You stole my hope, and still I rise
I bet you didn't tell your wife
Dream taker
Nothing compares to me, and you know it
Dream killer
No, nothing compares to me
Maybe it's time to accept
I'm still really mad
And I'm not over it
Well, look what you'e done
I thought I'd be calmer by now
But more fool me
Maybe it's time to accept
But it burns so bad
That you got away with it
Now look what you've done
I thought I'd be smarter by now
But more fool me
Yeah, more fool me
Try to replace me now
I'll haunt you when you close your eyes
Try to replace me now
No, nothing is better than gold, and you know
Try to replace me now
I'll haunt you when you close your eyes
Try to replace me now
No, nothing is better than gold
Pull the mask off, your disguise
I was the one you couldn't have
You stole my hope, and still I rise
I bet you didn't expect that
Dream taker
Nothing compares to me, and you know it
Dream killer
No, nothing is better than gold
Try to replace me now
I'll haunt you when you close your eyes
Try to replace me now
No, nothing is better than gold, and you know
Try to replace me now
I'll haunt you when you close your eyes
Try to replace me now
No, nothing is better than gold
Better than gold
Better than gold
Better than gold
Better than gold
Better than gold
Better than gold
Better than gold
