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

All the way with a smile on my face

See the 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

All the way with a smile on my face

See the 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

All the way with a smile on my face

See the 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
