The Message

歌詞

Close your eyes, what do you see? You hate yourself for what you never were And what you'll never be You paint your world in black and white And somehow put yourself below the rest Just because you're second-best Oh, listen to yourself There's always something missing Something more you should have done But if you slam on the brakes at every mistake You'll always be one step behind And if the harder you try the harder you cry It'll only be tears that you find Tell me now, how do you feel? You're as strong as you believe And you've done things that anyone Would be proud to achieve It's always you against the world When will you stop fighting for the top And be content with what you've got? Have a little faith You're really something special So why won't you believe it? That if you slam on the brakes at every mistake You'll always be one step behind And if the harder you try the harder you cry It'll only be tears that you find You close your eyes and still you see The memory of how you used to be Before you stopped So now you try To resurrect That part of you That used to fly, used to shine High above the grey and blue You're not somebody else You're all the things you'd ever wanna be So why can't you believe That if you slam on the brakes at every mistake You'll always be one step behind And if the harder you try the harder you cry It'll only be tears that you find And if the reason you breathe is the goal that you see Then you'll never be satisfied 'cause what's the reward when perfection is flawed And the best you can do falls wide? That if you slam on the brakes at every mistake You'll always be one step behind And if the harder you try the harder you cry It'll only be tears that you find You close your eyes and now you see A world where what you dream is what you'll be
