When I was young I trusted you to share my dreams

You took them misunderstood them hid them from me

Then I became the thing you made a lie a mistake a machine

You use me you left me in the desert with nothing to drink

Lying all alone in the sand I finally found

Like water flowing through both my hands it’s all around

Everything I lost I gave away I didn’t need

Dreams don’t leave they fade away when we don’t feed them

You weren’t the one I should’ve trusted

You were just another mirage

You were just another desert to cross

I wanna be my own oasis again

Oh I’m gonna be my own oasis

How many times have you taught me not to give away

But why should I live if I can’t give the gift that gives me sway

I reach out my hand just like you planned a lie a mistake a delay

Then I just stand and watch the sand beneath your feet give way

Standing all alone in the sand with your sound

Like fire flowing into my head it’s all around

Everything we lose we give away we don’t need

Shadows don’t just leave they fade away if we don’t feed them

You aren't the one I fell in love with

You were just another mirage

Oh you were just another desert to cross

I wanna be my own oasis again

Oh I’m gonna be my own oasis
