I thought I had myself all figured out
But I've spent my whole life holding myself down
And it seems to be that sort of thing
I keep doing constantly, addcited 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 someday I'll get out

Am                                       C
   I can't believe I'm standing here at all
                                  G
   I can't believe I made it this far
G
   On my way with a smile on my face
Dm
   To the top and I'm not falling off
Am                                      C
   And all I need is a microfone, I'll sing
                                           G
   About the things that have been hurting me
G
   It's safe to say all the kids have been late
Dm                                  Am (hold)
   To their lives just keep holding on

It's hard enough try walking in my shoes
To be picked on by my peers, to much abuse
Cause I'm tired of not fitting in
True friends is my final wish
Just let me be myself and make it through
I have try 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 trust me when I say I'm in control

Am                                       C
   I can't believe I'm standing here at all
                                  G
   I can't believe I made it this far
G
   On my way with a smile on my face
Dm
   To the top and I'm not falling off
Am                                      C
   And all I need is a microfone, I'll sing
                                           G
   About the things that have been hurting me
G
   It's safe to say all the kids have been late
Dm                                  Am (hold)
   To their lives just keep holding on

Am                          G
I believe I'm just like you
Dm                       Am
I believe I'll make it through
Am                               G
It's hard to see at times like this
C
But I'm not giving in
Dm
But I'm not giving in
