My life's not perfect
I make mistakes
But what gives you the right
To tell me how to do it?
I make mistakes
But what gives you the right
To tell me how to do it?
I'm trying my very best
Looking at myself
It isn't pleasant but
I'm trying, trust me
Looking at myself
It isn't pleasant but
I'm trying, trust me
Every day is a challenge
Every day takes its toll
Every day I do the best I can
Every day I try not to fall
Every day takes its toll
Every day I do the best I can
Every day I try not to fall
You think you have the answers
Can walk in my shoes
But you've no idea
What it's like being me, you don't
Can walk in my shoes
But you've no idea
What it's like being me, you don't
I'm changing every day
It might be slowly but it's there
One day you'll see me transform
I only need your care
It might be slowly but it's there
One day you'll see me transform
I only need your care
Every day is a challenge
Every day takes its toll
Every day I do the best I can
Every day I try not to fall
Every day takes its toll
Every day I do the best I can
Every day I try not to fall

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter about falling. It matters about getting back up.
ReplyDeleteSometimes honestly "looking at ourselves" is the hardest part. Very nice.
