Asleep At The Wheel
Verse 1
I thought I was beautiful
Until I looked in the mirror
I thought I was happy
Until I couldn't smile anymore
Things rarely seemed worthwhile
I thought I was peaceful
Until I became angry
I started to hate people
Even those I did not know
I had sunk very low
I was losing track of what was going on around me
I didn't care about anything
Not even myself
Verse 2
I thought I was grateful
For having food and a shelter
In truth, I was not
I always wanted much more
Even needed things that I longed for
I thought I was able to love someone else
But I couldn't because I was afraid
Afraid of being me
Bridge 1
I thought I was a nice person
Until I was told I wasn't
I thought I could be anything I wanted to be
Until I realized that not all dreams come true
That is just the way things are
Bridge 2
The weight of life is on my shoulders
I can't carry it anymore
I'm sinking further into the ground
And if I can't get up
Maybe I wasn't meant to
Chorus 1
I have been asleep at the wheel
Dreaming about all the raw deals
That have been given to me
Miserable is how I feel
Everything I am is too real for me
Chorus 2
I have been asleep at the wheel
Dreaming about all the raw deals
That have been given to me
Miserable is how I feel
Everything I am is too real for me
Insanity could be my destiny
Then I would not remember who I became
It's the same as being asleep at the wheel
