Since I was young I thought I was incomplete
Their expectations I could never reach
Aiming higher than my arms could go
Because I was always expected to do so
It broke me down more than I thought
Unlearning what I had always been taught
Building up from nothing
Just to truly become something

Since I was young I thought I was incomplete
Their expectations I could never reach
Aiming higher than my arms could go
Because I was always expected to do so
It broke me down more than I thought
Unlearning what I had always been taught
Building up from nothing
Just to truly become something
