The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
A long time ago, you promised yourself They're all gonna know me someday Well, you got what you wanted but look at you now You lost something good on the way So where did it go? Tell me, where did it go? But you wouldn't know Snap your fingers and somebody runs You don't care how they feel just as long as they come Got your head in the stars, now you've come this far Just who do you think you are? Now everything seems to be going your way And everyone loves what they see But you ruin it all with the things that you say So tell me, how does it feel? When you're all alone, how does it feel? You're alone, nothing is real Snap your fingers and somebody runs You don't care how they feel just as long as they come Got your head in the stars, now you've come this far Just who do you think you are? You believe a ridiculous lie You can't see you've become all the things you despise But I know who you are and you've gone too far Just who do you think you are? You can keep all your dreams But you don't have to lose yourself 'Cause one day, you're gonna break When the face in the mirror looking back at you Is a stranger that you can't place, oh, oh Just who do you think you are? Snap your fingers and somebody runs You don't care how they feel just as long as they come Got your head in the stars, now you've come this far Just who do you think you are? You believe a ridiculous lie You can't see you've become all the things you despise But I know who you are and you've gone too far Just who do you think you are? Oh, oh, oh, just who do you think you are?
