Hedonic Treadmill

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
