Am I the only one awake? Am I the only one? You're only what you tell yourself you are And lying to yourself can only get you so far You're only what you tell yourself you are Well hey there kid, try not to be so hard on yourself Did you know you can make your own hell? And you're only what you tell yourself you are And lying to yourself can only get you so far You're only what you tell yourself you are The chatting from outside fades I guess that means that I'm the only one awake at this hour of the night Thinking about my own hostility, am I the only one with all of this Running through my head And the littlest things affect our lives In ways I can't understand I wish that I did But I'm still eating every word I spoke when I was just a kid You're only what you tell yourself you are And lying to yourself can only get you so far You're only what you tell yourself you are
