Lyrics

I was 9 years old, and did as I was told
Careful not to upset anyone,
Now I reached 16, life got interesting,
Unanswerable to anyone
Now I am older, still wondering what it is that
I’m going become
‘Cause when I’m tired and grey
There’s one thing I won’t say
It’s funny how it never worked out
Isn’t it funny how it never worked out

So don’t give up on your dreams
Cant’ break apart inside
Try harder, don’t forget what they mean, yeah……
And with your back up against the wall,
Don’t be afraid, go let it all come out,
Just don’t give up on me

Scared of acting free, they try and bury me
With long faces of conformity
To anyone who’ll see, it’s not affecting and
I am overcoming all their gravity
See I stand prouder, and I won’t settle for
Anything second best
My craving calling me, anxious and eagerly
Isn’t it better to have failed than not tried
Isn’t it better to have failed than not tried at all

So don’t give up on your dreams
Cant’ break apart inside
Try harder, don’t forget what they mean, yeah……
And with your back up against the wall,
Don’t be afraid, go let it all come out,
Just don’t give up on me

Had my fill of being broke……..
Had my fill of feeling choked but
I was born with inner will to survive
See I was born with inner will to survive

So don’t give up on your dreams
Cant’ break apart inside
Try harder, don’t forget what they mean, yeah……
And with your back up against the wall,
Don’t be afraid, go let it all come out,
Just don’t give up on me
Don’t, don’t, don’t…
Da, da, da
