I'd Rather Be A Dreamer

I've always been a success
You just haven't noticed
Slipping through the cracks
I'm too chic to be mainstream

Gotta love yourself, gotta love yourself
Learn to love yourself when there's no one left

I'm living in a fool's paradise
I'll be dreaming 'til the day I die
But I'd rather be dreaming and feel bitter and envy
Rather be dreaming than admit defeat

Oh, I know how to finesse
Never needed your recognition, oh
I'm not waiting for your confirmation, I'm a star

Gotta love yourself, gotta love yourself
Learn to love yourself when there's no one left

I'm living in a fool's paradise
I'll be dreaming 'til the day I die
But I'd rather be dreaming and feel bitter and envy
Rather be dreaming than admit defeat

And Heaven's only so far away
Eventually, you'll feel no pain
Only strength and sadness
Freedom and madness, it's great, oh

I'm living in a fool's paradise
I'll be dreaming 'til the day I die
I'm living in a fool's paradise
I'll be dreaming 'til the day I die
But I'd rather be dreaming and feel bitter and envy
Rather be dreaming than admit defeat
I'd rather be dreaming than admit defeat

Gotta love yourself
