Worked hard for what I got, nothing comes easy
Put my time into my words so they aren't cheesy
Doesn't even matter at the end of the day
All's fair in love and war just another cliché
Purpose for performing slowly losing value
Its like im giving up on my morals too
Easy to say I've done enough, and call it quits
Wanna be loved but can't get a girl to admit
Is there a thing as a good person anymore?
I got my mind and heart in a constant civil war
Its all fiction, don't know what to believe in
My love and happiness, im giving more than im receiving
Yeah, all deep in my epiphany
Im writing real not to get your sympathy
Honestly could care less what you think of me
It does not affect my amount of dignity
Yeah, I always judge books by their cover
Want to have a reputation of a lover
But I know that's built from the ground up
I like my corner so I never turn the sound up
I never sleep so my eyes are losing focus
I play it off like I am fine people never notice
If im working til the end of time, I better pack
Cuz when im finished I never plan on coming back
Its like my duty to do this, must be His plan
Wanna find a girl who captures my attention span
I should let my emotions be run by me
Until the day the die over my dead body
Im hearing songs and I know I can do better
But I keep them all inside like theres bad weather
Chances are slim, scales tip the other way
Hope I remember to dress up on judgment day
Say imma social bu*terfly, the world's a bug k**er
Life's hard wish I could go back to a caterpillar
My acting's getting better, academy award
Feel like Columbus all I wanna do is explore
Im use to getting lost, don't ask for direction
I need to learn to love all of my imperfections
Im getting softer, does it mean im under-cooked?
Sometimes I feel so trapped like a fish hooked
They say follow your dreams, don't mention road blocks
Admit im scared to do it, got a case of chicken pox
I just need a push but everyone's hands tied
Looking for the ladder but always land on the slide
Why blame me when im down, even the sky is blue
Can't make it with a girl, all I get is déjà vu
The more nightmares I have, the more it gets me thinking
I see her when my eyes are closed, even when im blinking
Past is past so why does it pa** me in the present
Im stuck between the two like adolescence
Put my head above the surface, see the calm waters
Ran away so why does my heart even bother
I know every song I write has her between the lines
Adapting to the dark, when losing the flame that shines
Im like a broken record yeah I know im on repeat
Done with taking back roads, im on main street
