Sometimes life takes a path that is hard to walk on, so all you have to do is put on your hiking boots.


In your eyes
I see a girl
Trying to decide what to make of herself
In your eyes
I see a girl
Riding the bus token home
In your eyes
I see a girl
A girl who had made a mistake

Yes in eyes
You seem much stronger
In your eyes
You never lost a fight
But in your soul
You never win a battle
Its always you
Who tries to pick up a fight
To prove to yourself
But to no one else

Stop trying
Stop trying to win everything
To compete with the best and the worst
It’s not going to change you
Not going to make you better
Not going to make you stronger
And definitely
Not going to make you satisfied

So move along
Learn how to carry your own weight
Cause your not proving to anyone that you’re better
You’re just yourself
This time
And that makes you satisfied
All right
All right
It’s all right

Yes in eyes
You seem much stronger
In your eyes
You never lost a fight
But in your soul
You never win a battle
Its always you
Who tries to pick up a fight
To prove to yourself
But to no one else

Stop trying
You’re just making a mistake
Stop trying
Your just stuck in your own daze
Your don’t have to be better
You don’t have to be worse
Just be yourself
Not a jerk
Oh please not a jerk
