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
