Tell me you'll leave
Tell me I wont succeed
Tell me another lie that I'll believe

Make me walk the plank and drown in your disppointment
Make it known to the world, that I'm the greatest failed attempt at perfection

I wont embrace it, but ill accept it
I'm not breathing for you
I'm not dying for you
I wont give into this defeated decit
In this ongoing mutiny- its just you and me

I will win this battle even though i lost the war

Stand there and tell me you'll leave
Look me in the eye and make me believe
I'm telling you right now you wont succeed

I was inspired by an event in my life. Take this ridcule and make something out of it. Find a way to make the sun shine on a cloudy day. just because someone says you cant doesnt mean you have to listen to them

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
