Anywhere I go, anything I try, anyone I love is compromised Everyone I see staring on back at me Why can't you let me be? Ooh I'm so far home Being shallow and alone And why can't you see it's tearing away what I used to be I'm a shadow of a soul I don't know how to hide I don't know where to run The old me is done and gone inside What will you think of me When all that you'll ever see Is only a part of the other me Ooh I'm so far home Being shallow and alone And why can't you see it's tearing away I used to be Ooh I'm so far from home Being shallow and alone And why can't you see It's tearing away what I used to be I'm a shadow of a soul You can tear away the layers on the outside But what lies underneath you'll never find Too may people taking up my space Too many faces pressing up against my face Ooh I'm so far home Being shallow and alone And why can't you see It's tearing away what I used to be I'm a shadow of a soul
