They Told Me

                           And then they told me i could be somebody
                           If i didn't let too much get in my way
                           And i tried so hard just to be myself
                           But i keep on fading away
                           Until the lights went out, i didn't know what to do
                           If i could fool myself then maybe i'd fool you too
