Riding high on your accomplishments 
And always claim 
"Self-made, I'm the one because I'm getting paid 
Now I'm my own god, and this is my world 
I'm at the top uh-huh I can't be stopped" 
Well now don't you see that you're creating your own misery? 
Come back down so you can see 
It's not what it seems to be 
It's just another empty dream 
One that leaves you with nothing 

When will you see 
It's time to wake up and change 
It's just an empty dream 
Your life is too good to waste 
And it never lasts 
Don't be trapped by yourself 
Face your past, face to face 

Let's get deeper and go a little further into the past 
You live this way to hide your pain 
When no one else is there 
Your smile and confidence, it fades 

When will you see 
It's time to wake up and change 
It's just an empty dream 
Your life is too good to waste 
And it never lasts 
Don't be trapped by yourself 
Face your past, face to face 

So wake up, life's too short!
