Gimme A Chance...

You think that they’ll always be there
Through it all.
But you can’t always rely on them
To catch you when you fall.

Sometimes you find yourself
Lost in the crowd.
Doing all that you can
But never making them proud.

You follow each step
That everyone takes-
You’re living your life for them,
But as a fake.

They lie to you,
You lie to them.
When will you realize,
You can do whatever you want to do?

When you finally stand up,
You find yourself being pushed back down.
And you’re left all alone,
With nothing but a frown.

Nobody cares
About what you have to say,
In this life,
It only goes their way.

Nobody cares,
What you want to do.
For they rule everyone,
Including you.

Nobody knows what it’s like,
To sit at home and be alone tonight.
And nobody knows what it’s like,
To never have anything ever go right.

But young girl, stop your crying,
Stop your tears.
No one can help you,
You just have to get over your fears.

Stand up to those,
Who put pressure on you.
Let them know what it is
That you want to do.

If they laugh,
Then you laugh too.
If they point,
Just point back at you.

Let them know you’re sick
Of always following them around,
That you don’t want to be,
Just another background sound.

You’ll feel much better,
After conquering your fear.
But you’ll still be looking,
For someone to be near.

Someone will come,
They eventually do.
‘Cause after you stood up,
They’ll be looking up to you.

Just take a lesson from this.
Never let anyone tell you how to live your life,
Or who you should be.
Just smile and say back to them,
“I just want to be me.”
