lyrics

I want to do it, even when I can't
The commercials scream JUST DO IT and I did give all I had
But I got lost in translation, feeling empty and sad
Sometimes I mourn all the things I never had

What if my parents, taught me different things
What if I grew up easy and finished school
If I had learned I am worthy, instead of feeling like a fool
Sometimes I mourn, not having the right tools

I stay home when I can't, I stay in when I'm down
To recharge all my batteries and lose that frown
You can be assured when you see me around
I'm doing good

I want to do it, for as long as I can
Want to ignore all the warnings and just go on
Don't wanna take a break, I want to be strong
Sometimes I mourn, everything that went wron

I stay home when I can't, I stay in when I'm down
To recharge all my batteries and lose that frown
You can be assured when you see me around
I'm doing good
