lyrics
(verse 1)
Girl, I look into your eyes
And see you're lost again
You're putting on your best disguise,
Like it don't cost a thing
'Cause everything's a game to you,
Get all you can somehow
If everybody's into you,
It doesn't matter now
(pre-chorus)
Consumed, you've spun out of control
But you, won the world to lose your soul
(chorus)
How do you maintain
The life you live when everything falls apart
And all you love has broken your heart?
How do you maintain?
You work so hard but tell me what have you gained?
Oh, how do you maintain?
(verse 2)
Girl, you seem to think
There's nothing that you can't afford
Make it look nice, never think twice
On what you're living for
Got your grip tight,
On everything in sight but reality
Just save it for another night,
Cause you never wanna see
(pre-chorus)
Oh you, just look what you've become
It's true, you've crashed and burned,
Now everything's undone
(bridge)
Oh, how I wish that I could get through to you, my friend
There's so much that you were meant to be
Oh, how I hope that someday
Maybe you'll understand
Life is more than what you have,
It's more than what you see
Girl, I look into your eyes
And see you're lost again
You're putting on your best disguise,
Like it don't cost a thing
'Cause everything's a game to you,
Get all you can somehow
If everybody's into you,
It doesn't matter now
(pre-chorus)
Consumed, you've spun out of control
But you, won the world to lose your soul
(chorus)
How do you maintain
The life you live when everything falls apart
And all you love has broken your heart?
How do you maintain?
You work so hard but tell me what have you gained?
Oh, how do you maintain?
(verse 2)
Girl, you seem to think
There's nothing that you can't afford
Make it look nice, never think twice
On what you're living for
Got your grip tight,
On everything in sight but reality
Just save it for another night,
Cause you never wanna see
(pre-chorus)
Oh you, just look what you've become
It's true, you've crashed and burned,
Now everything's undone
(bridge)
Oh, how I wish that I could get through to you, my friend
There's so much that you were meant to be
Oh, how I hope that someday
Maybe you'll understand
Life is more than what you have,
It's more than what you see
