what do you do when everything is gray
and theres nothing left to motivate you through the day
when you realize you're wishing on a star that isn't there
and you realize no one is listening to your prayer
when you find out Superman is just Clark Kent
and Santa never read one letter that you sent
when you find out all your hero did was lie
and someone tells you reindeer can't really fly
when you figure out it was all just a show
and the ones that gave you knowledge really didnt know
when the apple of your eye is rotten to the core
and everytime you leave you reopen the same sore
to find out everyone else knew while you were unaware
while all the while you were wishing on a star that wasnt there
and theres nothing left to motivate you through the day
when you realize you're wishing on a star that isn't there
and you realize no one is listening to your prayer
when you find out Superman is just Clark Kent
and Santa never read one letter that you sent
when you find out all your hero did was lie
and someone tells you reindeer can't really fly
when you figure out it was all just a show
and the ones that gave you knowledge really didnt know
when the apple of your eye is rotten to the core
and everytime you leave you reopen the same sore
to find out everyone else knew while you were unaware
while all the while you were wishing on a star that wasnt there
