Verse 1
Sometimes I wanna quit
Leave it all behind and let time break it down to bits
But even if I did, I often wonder if I could
Walk on without any regrets

Searching for purpose for a long time
Feeling like i've waited at the back of such a long line
Maybe I read the wrong sign, thinking that
I need the limelight to prove that I can shine bright.

How foolish, since when did the recognition
take priority over the need to share what I envisioned?
Thinking that is what an artist should made of?
Seeking validation in the approval of a stranger?

I think its time that I face it
Go back the way I came and return to the basics
Re-learn all the lessons I had taken
so can come back, refreshed and concentrated

Chorus
I’ve been trying so damn hard but I can’t find which way to go
could help me on my travels down this very cold and lonely road
if you look beneath the surface, I can promise you will see
that I’m really not as strong as I have lead you to believe.


Verse 2
Do you remember learning how to ride a bike
and you kept falling down, struggling to get it right
when suddenly, it felt like it came to you so naturally
Balancing on your own, riding ever so happily

You didn’t have a care in the world
all that mattered, was you were so proud of, learning how to balance
Now looking back, on those days, they were care free
Wondering what changed, how it began to change me.

In retrospect, there was only one objective,
and if you made mistakes, you would work to correct them
If you fell, you would get up and try again
nowadays, I just keep wearing myself thin

There’s so many things I want to do
so I try to do them all, but its difficult to choose.
what I focus on, because I always try to go beyond
what my time allows, and now I don’t know the road I’m on.
