Who's to say that your mind won't change
Yesterday's excuses just aren't relevant today
It may take time it may take a strong will
But we don't have to swallow such a bitter pill
Better to have tried
Better to have learned
Better to take that risk
Than let this world wear you down
Half our time's spent wishing for something else
The other half lost in a breath
The standards I set were always for myself
Sorry if you thought they applied to anyone else
I always promised I'd try my best
I can't stand to see you waste what's in yourself
And now I'm asking
Are you happy with second best
It's so contrived and disappointing
To see you complacent like all the rest
