Gatsby

I built a castle out of dreams

And pretty scenes

I woke up and it was missing

It wasn't real

It wasn't real

I loved a woman who turned out to be

An ideal thing

I woke up and she was different

Oh, well

It wasn't real

It wasn't real

I been saying things I don't believe

I been doing things that just ain't me

Or is it me?

I been knowing that this can't continue

But I keep on living the same way

I dreamt of a future that's so far ahead

I dreamt of a past and I'd rather pretend

It isn't real

It can't be real

A version of self that erases the mirror

I change my appearance and go out for dinner with people

That hurt to be noticed and they talk just alike

And they argue for thrills

Yeah, it's never too real

I been saying things I don't believe

I been doing things that just ain't me

Or is it me?

I been knowing that this can't continue

But I keep on living the same way

But you didn't know me then

I wasn't nobody's friend

I wanted what all men want

To be in good company

To run around breaking things

And never think about fixing

Can't let it go now

Won't let it go, ah

I been living the type of life I see in movies

It's unsustainable

I been practicing on a new accent, new stories

Might be more relatable

How did I end up with the same damn clothes on?

Thought I was so individual

Went to the East, made sure to take some pictures

You know it's all about the visuals

Pretty, pretty thing

I been saying things I don't believe

I can't be another way

I been doing things that just ain't me

Or is it me?

I keep slipping on my independence

But I keep on living the same way

I keep saying things I don't believe

I been doing things that just ain't me

Or is it me?

I keep slipping on my independence

But I keep on living the same way
