Who Am I Trying To Be
"Isn't it enough to believe"
If you're hoping I'll give up and leave,
cry my eyes out,
and let it be;
that'll never be me.
---
Thought I would follow your lead,
and be typical you?
However hard it is to see,
that'll never be me.
---
Fighting for all I'll ever need,
but you want me to move on,
and accept reality;
no, that'll never be me.
---
Isn't it enough to believe,
to chase after that dream,
even if there's no guarantee;
couldn't that be me?
---
Maybe I'll bleed,
holding onto this idea,
or maybe I'll fall down to my knee;
couldn't that be me?
---
The artist's creed,
without hesitation, I signed,
when I dreamed the dream I will achieve;
watch it be me.
---
And I think by now we can agree,
that you could never be me.
