Went down an empty corridor on a deserted floor
Into a classroom with a mirror against the wall
Looked into the glass, my eyes staring past myself
And I show not your face, but your heart's desire
It's just an illusion, yeah, it's just a lie
And it does not do to dwell on these dreams and forget to live
So many wasted their lives, trying to find the other side
And here I am now, just wishing the path was clear
And it's just a dream, even though it seems so real
And I show not your face, but your heart's desire
It's just an illusion, yeah, it's just a lie
And it does not do to dwell on these dreams and forget to live
And sometimes I show you the best of times, the things that you wish you had
But sometimes, your dreams are impossible
And you know that they'll never come true
Went down an empty corridor on a deserted floor

And I show not your face, but your heart's desire (your heart's desire)
It's just an illusion, yeah, it's just a lie (it's just a lie)
And it doesn't do to dwell on these dreams (you can't dwell on these dreams) and forget to live
And it does not do to dwell on these dreams and forget to live
