How can you stop when your head says more How can you laugh when your heart feels raw How do you know if you never try How can you live if you never die My God, take a look at my life Take a look at where I've gone wrong I walked down the yellow brick road But the glitter and gold rubbed off I climbed to the mountain top But it only got me higher I guess that gold is always glitter on the other side Let it all fall off, let it wash away, away Cause I don't wanna be nobody else Let it all fall off, let it wash away, away Cause I don't wanna be nobody else I built a house that was made of bricks I almost touched it with my fingertips I sold it cheap cause it had no soul There wasn't anyone to make it a home My God, take a look at my life Take a look at where I've gone wrong I walked down the yellow brick road But the glitter and gold rubbed off I climbed to the mountain top But it only got me higher I guess that gold is always glitter on the other side Let it all fall off, let it wash away, away Cause I don't wanna be nobody else Let it all fall off, let it wash away, away Cause I don't wanna be nobody else Let it all fall off, let it wash away, away Cause I don't wanna be nobody else Let it all fall off, let it wash away, away Cause I don't wanna be nobody else My God, take a look at my life Take a look at where I've gone wrong I walked down the yellow brick road But the glitter and gold rubbed off I climbed to the mountain top But it only got me higher I guess that gold is always glitter on the other side
