I used to lie awake at night and I dreamed
About all of these things
I used to tell everyone I knew
That I'd be a star someday
People looked past me and then I've seen
That they were worried about their own ways
Why does it seem that I'm the only one
Willing to give it all away for my days to come
I hear a hit song on a radio and I wonder
When it's gonna be me
I see an actor in a video and I wonder
When it's gonna be me
When is it going to be me
You're trying to give yourself another chance
No one sees the one they have
I've tried to tell you so many times
That this is the life I'l leed
I've tried to let you into my life and to my mind
To see through my eyes
I've tried to tell you, I've tried, I've tried
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try 'til the day you die
I hear a hit song on a radio and I wonder
When it's gonna be me
I see an actor in a video and I wonder
When it's gonna be me
When is it going to be me
I hear a hit song on a radio and I wonder
When it's gonna be me
I see an actor in a video and I wonder
When it's gonna be me
When is it going to be me
