Everything I Want to Be 11

I find myself

i'm just awastin' my time away

no matter what i do

it always ends up the same

one minute moves

into the next

my life was simple

but now it's complex

and it doesn't seem to mean anything at all

and everything i want to be

is just another silly dream, you see

but i'll keep dreaming just the same

Sometimes it's hard to be me

when people stand in my way

i get so easily discouraged

well, what can i say

they try to mess you up

they try to push you around

they'll do anything

to bring you down

I'm not gonna be

stuck in mediocrity

when everybody's trying to bring me

back down to reality

oh, why can't they see

just how much this means to me

maybe one day i'll be special

Your dreams are special to you

but maybe others don't care

it brings you down

when you find them disregarded

and when you're out on your own

it's hard to make yourself stay

and finish up what it was

that you once started

I'm not gonna be

taken down that easily

when everybody's trying to tell me

what i'm gonna have to be

oh, why can't they see

just how much this means to me

maybe one day i'll be special

i'll be special

It means nothing

it means everything

it means something to me

what you tryin' to say

i'm not gonna play

in this little game

that you have created for me

you had your chance to do

what you needed to

and not it's time for me

to step right up and

spin that wheel

this time's for real

It's not gonna work this time

cuz in the end it's going to be mine

there's no need for me to stay

cuz everything is gonna go

my way

my way, my way

my way

my way, my way, my way
