The people you know and the places you see Never end up like you think they will be 'Cause the people, are deceitful and mean And the places never live up to your dreams And reality sticks and the dialogues fade Reality sticks and the dialogues fade Reality sticks and the dialogues fade Reality sticks and the dreams fade away You wake up, and its cold and gray And there is nothing in the world, you'd like to do today So you pray that it will all end soon But not this way, no not this way And this is it, the one thing that I know (Happy Birthday) And reality sticks and the dialogues fade Reality sticks as the dreams fade away Reality sticks as the dialogues fade Reality sticks as the time ticks away
