Staring at the ceiling, lying next to him
The man I once loved, now a stranger wearing thin
Alarm clock's screaming, another day to face
Stuck in this routine, a lost cause in this space

How did I end up here? In this life I never planned
Thought I'd be someone else, thought I'd make a firmer stand
The dreams I once held dear, now they're slipping like the sand
How did I end up here? I'm just trying to understand

Cubicle walls closing in, the job that pays the bills
But it's draining my soul, and I'm running out of will
The fire that once burned bright, now it's flickering and dim
Can't help but wonder, is it me or is it him?

How did I end up here? In this life I never planned
Thought I'd be someone else, thought I'd make a firmer stand
The dreams I once held dear, now they're slipping like the sand
How did I end up here? I'm just trying to understand

Is it too late to change? To find the path I lost
To break free from these chains, no matter what the cost
I may have lost my way, but I won't let hope waste away

I'll take the wheel, break free from this illusion
It's time to heal, time for some introspection
I may be here now, but I won't be here forever
I'll find my way somehow, through this strange weather

How did I end up here? In this life I never planned
Thought I'd be someone else, thought I'd make a firmer stand
The dreams I once held dear, now they're slipping like the sand
How did I end up here? I'm just trying to understand
