I thought I had myself all figured out
But I spent my whole life holding myself down
And it seems to be that sort of thing I keep doing constantly
Addicted to the pain I cause myself
My head is floating somewhere in the clouds
While I'm paid to entertain a lovely crowd
They sing my songs and feel my pain
Cause pain is what creates my fame
A vicious cycle some day I'll get out
I can't believe I'm standing here at all
I can't believe I made it this far
On my way with a smile on my face
See the top and I'm not falling off
And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing
About the things that have been hurting me
It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate
To their lives so just keep holding on
It's hard enough try walking in my shoes,
To be picked on by my peers who much abuse
And I'm tired of not fitting in true friends is my final wish
Just let me be myself and make it through.
I have tried so hard to be a better soul
I have worked so hard at making myself whole
And through it all my better years are still ahead my mind is clear
Just trust me when I say I'm in control
I can't believe I'm standing here at all
I can't believe I made it this far
On my way with a smile on my face
See the top and I'm not falling off
And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing
About the things that have been hurting me
It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate
To their lives so just keep holding on
I believe I'm just like you
I believe I'll make it through
It's hard to see at times like this
But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in
I believe I'm just like you
I believe I'll make it through
It's hard to see at times like this
But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in
And all I need is a microphone
I'll sing about the things that have been hurting me
It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate
To their lives so just keep holding on
I can't believe I'm standing here at all
I can't believe I made it this far
On my way with a smile on my face
See the top and I'm not falling off
And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing
About the things that have been hurting me
It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate
To their lives so just keep holding on
