When did life become so complicated? Years of too much thought and time I wasted And in each line upon my face Is proof I fought and lived another day When did life become this place of madness? Drifting on an empty sea of waves and sadness? I make believe I'm in control And dream it wasn't all my fault When your feet don't touch the ground When your voice won't make a sound Here, it's safe, in this place, up off the clouds When your feet don't touch the earth You can't feel the things that hurt And you're free, there's no need to come down When your feet don't touch the ground Everyday just feels a little longer Why am I the only one not getting stronger? Running around pretending life's a play It doesn't make the darkness go away I may be young but I can still remember Feeling full of joy, crying tears of laughter Now all my tears are all cried out Make-believe, but count me out Cause my feet are on the ground And the inner voice I found Tells the truth, "There's no use If your head's in the clouds" With my feet on solid earth I can face the fates that hurt And in time, I'll be fine I'll come 'round I was once like you Life was a maze I couldn't find my way out But what I say is true You will be amazed Make-believe and you will find out that it's true When your feet don't touch the ground When your voice won't make a sound Here, it's safe. In this place Up off the clouds When your feet don't touch the earth You can't feel the fates that hurt And you're free, there's no need, to come down When your feet don't touch the ground
