Sleepless night, all these thoughts on my mind
Thinking about the past as my memories rewind
They say things happen for a reason, but I don't believe that
Some say there's a silver lining, I wish that I could see that
I've seen people be the hero; I wish I could be that
Who says there's a limit to what a man can do
As long as you take advantage of everything they hand you
You have to be yourself to the point where they can't stand you
Get away with everything this way they can't reprimand you
Be all you can be and don't let no one stop you
Don't believe all the people who tell you that they've got you
Never trust too many people only who you got to
If you're trusting just two people it's time for you to drop two
'Cause the minute that you turn your back they act like they forgot you
In the end most people will just follow where the tide goes
But to prove to everyone your sane, your emotions you must hide those
You can always tell when someone's fake if you know it like how I know
You will always make the right decision if you go about it like how I go
Some say that the sky's the limit; well it's time to let the sky go
Live life like you'll live forever; we all know we will die though
'Cause dying with a smile is better than living with a frown
If you're always crying when life gets tough, your face will surely drown
So give yourself a red paintbrush and run about the town
And when you reach your house again, go to bed and say
"I am glad today I made the choice to live my life this way."
Now with my heart upon my sleeve, and emotions on display
I'll tell you that this is me and I am here to stay
