It's hard to feel like a king
When all you've been is a joker

It's hard to keep your chin up
When you're laying face down

It's hard to see the light
When your eyes are closed

It's hard to open up
When all you know is to be guarded

It's hard when everything you know
Has been flipped upside down.

But it's harder to not try

It's hard to face fear
But it's harder to live a lie

It's hard to place your heart on a platter
But it's harder to not love

It's hard when efforts fail
But you're a failure if you don't try
