Living A Lie
Tramp Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From what she thought was just a dream
Looked around and saw it all was real
Packed her bags and ran away
Nothing here to make her stay
Free again she set out on her own
She never knew her life could be
If only she had realized
That there were so much more than
Living a lie, living a lie
Cause you're missing out
When you are living a lie
Flowers in the summer rain
How good it feels to smile again
Love is real when you are not afraid
Sally looked into his eyes
And saw a glimpse of paradise
Could it be what love is meant to be
She's not afraid not anymore
To seek what she desire
She dare to live the life she dreams
She wants to feel alive. not
Suddenly you see it clear
It ain't that far but oh so near
You taste the air and feel the sun
And now you know it won't be long.
Before

As she wandered on her own, she discovered that life was full of opportunities and potential for happiness.
