lyrics

It's so odd
Today seems like yesterday
I look at myself
As a broken record
Life
Seems to repeat itself
Even though I know this
I make the same mistakes
------------
Life is a movie
And I'm always playing out of character
My life is a movie
Something I don't want to play anymore
------------
Yesterday, today
Everything's the same
My thoughts get lost within themselves
-----------
My life is a movie it seems
And I'm always playing out of character
My life is a movie it seems
Something I don't want to play anymore
-----------
Does the future happen
Will there be any change
When will the mirror show me a different face
