What It Takes

Maybe life won't be the way
That I planned it out to be but if I try
I just might make it
I'm just making sure that I
Don't trip over my own feet
And keep my eyes in front of me
So I can see where I am going

Is this real? Am I just killing time
Traveling on a road that leads to nowhere
Today's the day, I won't give up the fight
Instead I'm gonna prove I've got what it takes

Keep in mind it's not your place
To judge the life I choose
And tell me I'm not where I need to be
I'm just doing things the best that I know how
And making my way down the path I've made
I never said that it'd be easy

Is this real? Am I just killing time
Traveling on a road that leads to nowhere
Today's the day, I won't give up the fight
Instead I'm gonna prove I've got what it takes

I've made my mistakes, but I won't turn back now
My friends have my back, and we will stand our ground
I've made my mistakes, but I won't turn back now
My friends have my back, and we will stand our ground

I'm tired of pretending to be happy when I'm not
I'm sick of acting impressed when everything that you can do
I can do, just as well in my own life
And yes this song's about you

I'm tired of pretending to be happy when I'm not
I'm sick of acting impressed when everything that you can do
I can do, just as well in my whole life
And yes this song's about you
