when i was young
my mother showed me
to become strong
you had to only
cover your fears
don’t show you’re lonely
put others first
before your own needs
it’s not all bad
but i get lonely
and i get sad
and i feel broken
if there’s no task
i just assume one
i feel the burden
perform for no one
and i walk the highroad where nobody else has tread
i break my back on the things other people say
i’m getting tired always trying to do my best
when i don’t feel it, no i don’t feel it
and now i’m older
i’ve learned some lessons
to become stronger
you have to listen
keep it open
don’t try to hide it
and if you need love
don’t try to fight it
its not all bad
but i get lonely
and i get sad
and i feel broken
if there’s no task, then
i just assume one
i feel the burden
perform for no one
and i walk the highroad where nobody else has tread
i break my back on the things other people say
i’m getting tired always trying to do my best
when i don’t feel it, no i don’t feel it
it’s just my ego and my pride
i live my life in disguise
and when i’m hurting, it’s incognito
so everybody thinks i’m a hero
and i walk the highroad where nobody knows my name
i’m getting tired of playing these stupid games
i do my best trying to keep the world afloat
but i don’t need this, no i don’t need this
but i don’t need this, yeah i don’t need this
