Hedonic Treadmill Lyrics

I was waiting wishing while you tried

I was contemplating as you died

From everything they put you through

They strung you up and tied your noose

You chased their dream

They dragged you to demise

But where was I

I was dreaming of the butterflies

Transformations and our other lives

They set the stage you jumped through hoops

I'm not sure what else you could do

They sold you a dream

That brought you to demise

But where was I

I thought I could be the one for you

I thought I could be the one for you

Who made it all okay what you'd been through

You made it all okay what I'd been

I kept growing smaller as you tried

You lost yourself within your sense of pride

But after all they put you through

They selfishly gave up on you

From broken dreams

We build a different life

For you and I

Will you just let him go

Just let me go just let me go

Will you just let him go

Just let me go just let me go

I thought I could be the one for you

I thought I could be the one for you

Who made it all okay what you'd been through

You made it all okay what I'd been through

Let him come back to me

The way that he used to be

I promise we won't disappoint

Except what you thought he was

He will rise far above

What you'd expect to appoint

Consider the consequence

An opportunity that was missed

One that you don't care that we take

We will take all of it

He will make up for the opportunities

You wish that you'd take

You wish that you'd take

The risk that you take

I thought I could be the one for you

I thought I could be the one for you

Who made it all okay what you'd been through

You made it all okay you made it all okay
