Thoughts are running wild Staring up inside Little white lies and fake smiles Living just to get by Doing what I'm told Just to fit the mold All this emptiness inside, and I compromise Living life in survival mode Born into prison of your vision I'm trapped here and confined I don't wanna waste another minute Fighting to feel alive If this is the life that I've been given Well, I'll leave it all behind All I'm asking is for you to listen Just one more time I don't wanna have to disappoint you Or try to win your love When you try to make me into something Am I ever good enough? Always tryin' to fight for your attention You push me aside and brush me off I may not measure up to your perfection All I want is your love Your love In this house of rules I try to play it cool Bottled up the pain underneath the shame Praying for a new day I hope to God you'll see Who I wanna be So I can finally be me Born into prison of your vision I'm trapped here and confined I don't wanna waste another minute Fighting to feel alive If this is the life that I've been given Well, I'll leave it all behind All I'm asking is for you to listen Just one more time I don't wanna have to disappoint you Or try to win your love When you try to make me into something Am I ever good enough? Always tryin' to fight for your attention You push me aside and brush me off I may not measure up to your perfection All I want is your love Your love All I want is your love Oh, your love I don't wanna have to disappoint you I don't wanna try to win your love When you try to make me into something Am I ever good enough?
