Always
trying to be so good
Remembering to
keep my cool
And play by all the rules
Always fighting
to succeed
Even when I’m
on my knees
Losing sight
of what it all means
Why does it
always have to be so tough
Why do I
never feel like it’s ever enough
Always trying
so hard to win
Feeling like
a loser
Never even coming
in
Second or
third
And I know
it’s absurd
Cuz that’s
not what it’s all about
Or so they
say…
But look me
in the eye
Cuz every
night I pray
For my turn
to believe the lie
Always gotta
be strong
Don’t look
back
Just carry
on
Always
overcome
Keep your
mind sharp
Play it
smart, don’t look dumb
Always hold
on tight
And remember
to let go
But whatever
you do
Don’t let
anyone know
How hard it
has been
To sell your
soul
Always say
it was meant
To be:
“I never had
no doubt” & “I could ALWAYS see”
Don’t tell
us how it came to be
We want not
the truth
We believe
only the proof
In the lies
of what we always see.
