Someone Else's Dreams

I'm living in the shadows
Of someone else's dreams.
And though I play my part,
No one hears, it seems.

Nobody cares to notice
As the tears all turn to dust.
But I've made it this far,
And I'll go on if I must.

Comparisons and labels...
All those useless words.
And even when they're false
Somehow it always hurts.

I run the show yet somehow,
I'm always behind the scenes.
But then again what can I say?
I'm the backdrop for their dreams...
