7.Quitters Never Win
I've waited long enough
and I've been putting it all off
It's time I got myself going again
I've made enough excuses
to last 'til the end of time
I've got to move forward with my plans
I tell myself that I am not cut out for this
I don't like anything that's happening now
But when I think of losing
everything I've done so far
I know I've got to make it work somehow
What good is a friend
if you can't look him in the eye？
What good is honesty
if it feels like a lie？
What good is a dream
if you never even try？
I thought that I was free
and that I left that guy behind
I wanted to believe
that someday I'd reach the sky
And if I don't press on
then I'll watch the new me die
And the sadder self survive
This isn't as easy as they make it look on TV
I'd never have guessed it was so hard
And maybe you can hear it
in the strain of my voice
The perils of it caught me off guard
But when you know that
burning deep inside of you
Is not something so easily ignored
You get back on that horse
no matter how many times you fall
'Cause it's better than
everything you've done before
What good is a friend
if you can't look him in the eye？
What good is honesty
if it feels like a lie？
What good is a dream
if you never even try？
I thought that I was free
and that I left that guy behind
I wanted to believe
that someday I'd reach the sky
And if I don't press on
then I'll watch the new me die
And the sadder self survive
My life is chronicled in lapses of writer's block
Opening a window to let my feelings be mocked
You ask me why I put myself through this, to you I say
If you've ever chased a dream
you know I can have it no other way
This is me today
