The grass was always greener on the other side
“That’s life,” I always said to myself, unsatisfied
My trademark was a cynical smile dripping with snide
But the most laughable thing of all was my empty pride
Nothing went my way, no matter how hard I tried
I hated it all, my hopes died
“I don’t wanna run away,” a voice cried. Are those my words, do I feel that way?
I’ll give it one more go and then many more
I still don’t feel content, this isn’t enough, even as the rain wears me down
I’ll give it one more thought and so many more
I need to show that there’s a runway ready for my takeoff. Don’t you think so? Don’t you think so?
As I start to lose it, my heart begins to race
There’s no need for pessimism, no need to lie to my face
I can just call it a runner’s high
Cause there are more hurdles to clear. Don’t you see them now?
During these trials and tribulations, can I find my own voice? Can I find my battle cry?
If I couldn’t, I would’ve given up a long time ago
Just singing with passion won’t get my message across
Reality is a beautiful and cruel mistress
So I cut down all the hesitation and start to sing again
‘Cause I left all the reasons telling me to give up back in my past
I want to keep loving, I want to keep loving
Every time I come to a stop, my feet urge me to move
Take one more step, keep going on
The strides I make are tiny and lack all confidence
But they come together to form my song, so hear me now!
I’ll give it one more go and then many more
I still don’t feel content, this isn’t enough, even as the rain wears me down
I’ll give it one more thought and so many more
I want to show that there’s a walk of fame ready for my name
And maybe once I get there I can love myself a little more
