I take my time for the friends that I never had
And here I find a world made for me
Everyday with a family I chose instead
Hear the words I say to my friends on the screen:
[Chorus]
"Why do you cry? Please don't sigh - I'll be watching
I live your life - day and night - I'll be there..."
In the end I am sure I can ease their pain
With their tears they cover up mine
Their miseries - with the credits they die away
But their sympathy in my dreams they remain
[Chorus 2x]
[Chorus 2]
Why isn't life as easy as it's meant to be?
And why isn't there a happy-end as on TV?
And why isn't life as easy as it's meant to be?
And why isn't there a happy-end as on TV?
And why...
[Chorus 2 2x with following line repeated over it]
Why isn't it easy, isn't it fair?
I take my time for my friends that I never had
And when I cry I'm never alone...
[Chorus 3x]
