Looking in the mirror
Tell me, tell me, what do you see?
I see a star getting ready for the next movie scene
I let go of the day and I imagine

That life is a dream
And I've got everything
It's not what it seems
It's all over, it's over

Along comes a heartache
Just to make you stronger inside
Along comes a heartache
Just to let you know you're alive
And that's a lesson for life
A lesson for life
A lesson

Though sometimes I'm awake
I still feel stuck in fantasy
So jealous of birds the places of
Where they've been and what they've seen
If I could, What would it be like

That life is a dream
And I've got everything
It's not what it seems
It's all over, it's over

Along comes a heartache
Just to make you stronger inside
Along comes a heartache
Just to let you know you're alive
And that's a lesson for life
A lesson for life

Why should I bother with reality?
Rather pretend to live lavishly
I make a ship and swim the seven seas
If I wanna, until

Along comes a heartache
Just to make you stronger inside
Along comes a heartache
Just to let you know you're alive

Along comes a heartache
Just to make you stronger inside
Along comes a heartache
Just to let you know you're alive
Just another lesson for life
Just another lesson
