When they told me how to look
I always shifted my tie
And now I
Don't try to save face
When they told me how to jump
I always asked, "How high?"
And now I
Fight for my name
It took a decade, maybe longer
To realize I was getting nowhere
What a maniacal scheme
So many years of broken promises
My time will come, just wait in line
A matrix of intentional deceit
PRE-CHORUS:
Everyone has their own agenda
A goal to achieve
Best of intentions, hidden ambitions
Always a web to weave
CHORUS:
By and by, I'll take the lead
Be the writer of my own story
All in all, I'd say I'll be fine
Being a hero in my own journey
Don't need a man, don't need a friend
I, I'm used to going without (all alone)
Born alone, die on my own
I, I got this all figured out (do I?)
The storm is breaking, ship might be shakin'
But I won't let you bring me down
The captain of my fate, oh, I know the way
I'm moving on up to higher ground
They always told me I was second best
Never the first choice, but
At least I
Learned to dance in the rain
They only let me get close enough to taste
Never take a bite, but
At least I
Nourished my timid brain
They only gave as good as they could get
Now I am fanning the flames
They have no apologies, no regrets
Won't I, put them to shame
(PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS)
This world will never give
More than it will ever take
You'll lose your mind, waste all your time
Tryin' to make sense of the pain
It may take a minute, might be a lifetime
Before you see what you need to believe
You've never find fulfillment, be happy
Always working on someone else's dream
(CHORUS)
I'm the hero of my own story
Catch me on the rise, it's my time
Try to stop me from finding glory
But it's my turn to break the tide
When they told me how to look
I always shifted my tie
And now I
Don't try to save face
When they told me how to jump
I always asked, "How high?"
And now I
Fight for my name
It took a decade, maybe longer
To realize I was getting nowhere
What a maniacal scheme
So many years of broken promises
My time will come, just wait in line
A matrix of intentional deceit
PRE-CHORUS:
