[00:10.21]I thought I had myself all figured out
[00:14.62]But I spent my whole life holding myself down
[00:20.02]And it seems to be that sort of thing
[00:22.98]I keep doing constantly
[00:25.62]Addicted to the pain I cause myself
[00:30.92]My head is floating somewhere in the clouds
[00:35.41]While I'm paid to entertain a lovely crowd
[00:40.46]They sing my songs and feel my pain
[00:43.70]Cause pain is what creates my fame
[00:46.61]A vicious cycle some day I'll get out
[00:51.20]I can't believe I'm standing here at all
[00:54.50]I can't believe I made it this far
[00:57.50]On my way with a smile on my face
[00:59.37]See the top and I'm not falling off
[01:02.10]And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing
[01:04.84]About the things that have been hurting me
[01:07.33]It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate
[01:09.35]To their lives so just keep holding on
[01:17.26]It's hard enough try walking in my shoes
[01:22.02]To be picked on by my peers, too much abuse
[01:27.46]And I'm tired of not fitting in
[01:30.04]True friends is my final wish
[01:32.52]Just let me be myself and make it through
[01:37.67]I have tried so hard to be a better soul
[01:42.23]I have worked so hard at making myself whole
[01:47.80]And through it all my better years
[01:50.65]Are still ahead, my mind is clear
[01:53.48]Just trust me when I say I'm in control
[01:59.15]I can't believe I'm standing here at all
[02:01.74]I can't believe I made it this far
[02:04.07]On my way with a smile on my face
[02:06.09]See the top and I'm not falling off
[02:09.23]And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing
[02:11.97]About the things that have been hurting me
[02:14.49]It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate
[02:16.55]To their lives so just keep holding on
[02:19.52]I believe I'm just like you
[02:25.05]I believe I'll make it through
[02:30.09]It's hard to see at times like this
[02:34.77]But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in
[02:40.19]I believe I'm just like you
[02:45.45]I believe I'll make it through
[02:50.41]It's hard to see at times like this
[02:55.66]But I'm not giving in, I'm not giving in
[03:18.90]And all I need is a microphone,I'll sing
[03:21.63]About the things that have been hurting me
[03:24.12]It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate
[03:26.06]To their lives so just keep holding on
[03:29.46]I can't believe I'm standing here at all
[03:31.81]I can't believe I made it this far
[03:34.54]On my way with a smile on my face
[03:36.52]See the top and I'm not falling off
[03:39.71]And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing
[03:42.25]About the things that have been hurting me
[03:44.67]It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate
[03:47.02]To their lives so just keep holding on
[03:58.15]So just keep holding on
