Check your ego at the door Love the rich and help the poor I know it's all part of the show Tuck your shirt and tie your tie Obey the traffic, read the signs It's true, there is just so much to do Never want to say goodbye I'll grab your hand and hold it tight I'll lead you to somewhere new Because there is still time left for you Let's make it count Pay your taxes and your bills Run through water, climb those hills It's true, I know just what to do

There's been a lot of days Can't get nothing right What's the point Can't sleep at night What's the use Gave all that I've got I've given up Lay down and rot Think I have it all together No one tells me what to do Keep it all to myself It's what I am Makes me who I am It's my life, so don't approach me Not with advice or anything at all Trust issues, I have plenty It's what I am, Makes me who I am All the friends I ever had Not able to see them Gets me very mad All continued to move on, Was not the one to rely upon Disinclined, from passing through Loneliness really makes me blue Rising up from all my wrong Redemption coming to be strong Experiencing an awaken A peace I never had before Free of pain, now I'm forsaken It's what I am Makes me who I am Once was blind, and now I see All changes happening in and out of me Things I can not explain it's what I am Makes me who I am Good things come For those who wait Realizing it now after all these days Exploring options even more More than I ever done before

Memory 02:48
I'm dying on the inside I'm crying on the outside And this glass of wine won't numb my pain I'm trying to let go It's been tough from the get-go Even though you're gone, your memory will remain My father taught me to hold my ground Don't let people push me around But he's gone now, watching over me So I'll be strong for him, and that you best believe My mother taught me to not give up I showered her with lies, she showered me with love now I'm grown up and I hope she sees That I appreciate all she has done for me

I Know I Can 03:38
One is more Two is less Why do you say I'm second best You criticize the things I do You bite off more than you can chew You’re always upset Every time I try to do my best You’re constantly pressing me Can't seem to keep you impressed Am I a failure to you Will I know just what to do I know I can I know I can Break this streak And when I do And when I do It will be for me and you As it occurred, what was wrong Were my ways and hers all along She forced me to see her view Then I won't listen to you She left me alone And did her thing all on her own Then she will see How I came around unexpectedly I'm not a failure to you I'll know just what to do And now I have And now I have Broke the streak And since then Until the end You and I will say Amen

Second Best 04:52
Let's paint a picture of the life that I'm living now Look at the sky all that I can see is dark clouds I have this heart of stone that's grinding into sand I will be broken until I reach the promised land My reputation is at stake and I can't believe The person I've become, you see this is killing me My emptiness is just a lie that I must resist But this pain just keeps on grabbing me by the wrist Please tell me I'm ok And it doesn't to have to end this way Please help me through this I always deal with second best I cannot take no more regret Or waiting for my last breath I cannot face another day where All my dreams have washed away It's leaving me with nothing more to say I'm wide awake but this all feels like a dream My own worst nightmare and no one can hear me scream Tried to take the high road but it led me right back I need some answers, need to get my life on track

Movin' On 03:17
This girl that I went with we were doing great Till I found out she cheated on me Just yesterday I think and think pacing back and forth Did I do something, I'm not sure It's been to long Don't want to say goodbye You made me move on Never will I be Satisfied And it's too late Being cruel is who I am That's just how I'm going to be Tried to work things out but you said no Is that what you’re all about did you really want to go. Didn't take time to think what we had was real Is that how you really feel Then I realize things won't go my way If she is not the one then why should she stay I need to move on go forward with my life And find happiness I know it's been long It's okay to say goodbye Now I moved on And now I'm satisfied I clearly stopped holding on to my pride A changed man is who I am
8.
Try to be who you want me to be Try to be who I say I will be but I failed you. Yeah I failed you I tried to take on these new roles But instead I'm sinking to new lows Yeah I failed you, yeah I failed you. What can i do? You're hanging on by a thin thread Because the love you feel is pain instead Yeah I failed you, yes I failed you I’ll go wherever I need to go As long as you say you'll love me so I'll take my imperfections where they belong And learn to admit when I am wrong You’re growing sick and tired of me Because I'm nothing like i used to be Yeah I failed you, yes I failed you Tell me where do i go from here? Because nothing but destructions where I'm near Where did I stumble, where is it I fell? I know that you can save me from hell
