People criticize the way I live my life
But who are they to put me down
I try my best and thank the lord I´m blessed everyday
And though I´ve had my share of highs
It made me realise
That nothing ever comes for free
All I do is try and make the most of being me

But sometimes you get to the point
Where you just can´t go on and
It feels like the end of the road
But if you keep going round
With your head in the clouds
Will you see what´s right under your nose?

And if it´s never gonna be
Don´t try to hold on
See everybody has a dream
That doesn´t seem to go right
You´re not the only one who hurts
There´s people going through so much worse
And still I try
To live my life
And get by

Everybody thinks they know how life should go
But nothing ever goes to plan
All we seem to do is wait around for something more

And though I´ve been just where you´ve been
I tried to chase a dream
I´ve watched it crumble to the ground
That I´m still standing stronger
Than I ever have before

So you should keep moving on
Till you know that it´s right
When it is you´ll know from the inside

But if it´s never gonna be
Don´t try to hold on
See everybody has a dream
That doesn´t seem to go right
You´re not the only one who hurts
There´s people going through so much worse
And still I try,
to live my life
and get by

Everyday (everyday)
All I do (all I do)
Is never quite enough (is never quite enough)
And in every way (every way)
I can say (I can say)
I've been close to giving up (I've been close)
If I wanted to (wanted to)
I could be (I could be)
Anything I wanna be
It´s taken time for me to realise
That dreams ain´t always what they seem

So if it´s never gonna be
Don´t try to hold on
See everybody has a dream
That doesn´t seem to go right
You´re not the only one who hurts
There´s people going through so much worse
And still I try
To live my life
And get by

And if it´s never gonna be
Don´t try to hold on
See everybody has a dream
That doesn´t seem to go right
You´re not the only one who hurts
There´s people going through so much worse
And still I try
To live my life
And get by
