I only ever wanted to make you proud Even at my best I always find a way to let you down. We push aside the fact that i'll never be good enough It's easier to pass the blame than say that it's bad luck. But look inside the boy that calls you home I would give you everything if it wouldn't be a burden. Behind his voice you'll find a sad empty man That wears a smile, while on the inside he's breaking down.
Dragging his heels with his eyes on the ground A shadow fills the shoes of the empty man Where encouragement once stood is replaced with broken hope.
He's misunderstood Chasing his dreams are the only thing he achieved. But he's doing it for himself To prove to the world, that his life has purpose and worth.
With nothing left to offer Except for a promise he swears to keep. His dreams are his escape He comes to life while he's asleep. Free from the world that only held him back From birth he was cursed Everything he builds will collapse.
But look inside the boy that calls you home I would give you everything if it wouldn't be a burden
Behind his voice you'll find a sad empty man That wears a smile, while on the inside
