You never trust in me, and it's bringing me down Don't put your faith in me, I might not let you down
Why can't you see? I'm now the man I want to be Why can't you see? You're not the man I want to be
If I live my life like you want me to Would you be proud of me? If I could prove to you by living in your shoes Could you be proud of me?
Footsteps aren't always meant to be followed I have a life to live And when I'm gone you'll only have yourself to blame
If I live my life like you want me to Would you be proud of me? If I could prove to you by living in your shoes Could you be proud of me? I don't have to sleep to live out my dreams I'm wide awake to the fact that you reject me
If I live my life like you want me to Would you be proud of me?
Why could you never put your faith in me? Allow me to dream
Footsteps aren't always meant to be followed
I've wasted life on these wasted years Trying to be everything you want Pride is such a loaded word
If I live my life like you want me to Would you be proud of me If I could prove to you by living in your shoes Could you be proud of me I don't have to sleep to live out my dreams I'm wide awake to the fact that you reject me If I live my life like you want me to Would you be proud of me?
Why can't you see? You're not the man I want to be
