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 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 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 treat 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 e

                              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
