try to walk in these shoes
turn right and left
try to follow my path, I'm ahead
where are you
I tried to carry two hearts
but they tear me apart
I can't control,
where they tell my feet to go
I told you so, I knew it before
I could have bet, I could have sworn
there's always something missing somehow, anyhow
you'll never see the way up when you keep on going down
for me it takes a laugh, nothing more than a smile,
a moment that we share,
and the proud words on the t-shirts you still wear
you say I never last long
in any place
and that I should learn to stick it out
even if it gets hard
even if I don't like it
can you hear yourself talking
what the hell should keep me here
I told you so, I knew it before
I could have bet, I could have sworn
there's always something missing somehow, anyhow
you'll never see the way up when you keep on going down
for me it takes a laugh, nothing more than a smile,
a moment that we share,
and the proud words on the t-shirts you so confidently wear
you so confidently wear
