Maybe this time, I drew this line a little too far
I made my mind, 'cause you tried to change mine a
little too hard
I hope they like me
I hope they care
I hope they scream and throw their hands into the air
(ahhhh!!)
I hope its likely
That they learn
I hope they show me the respect I think I've earned
I wonder nightly
If they heard
That I ran and travelled halfway round the world ( I
travelled halfway round the world)
I'm walking lightly
As I'm unsure
If I'll ever truly get what I deserve
I hope they get it
And understand
What I proved to do to get the upper hand
I left a message
Did you hear?
'Cause for the record, I've been sending this for years
Will they accept it?
Or pass it by?
Or will I spoon feed every bastard's passive mind?
I'm not against it
In ticking times
When second best and all the rest get left behind
(2x)
I used to think the lights were bright (these lights)
I thought they'd shine until its over (over!!!)
I used to think I'd like this life (this life)
Until I got a little closer (closer!!!)
(2x)
Now I could back down
But I'm too damn proud
(4x)
(2x)
Maybe this time
I took it a little too far
Maybe I, hey
Oh no, no, no, no
This time
Maybe this time
I took it a little too far
Maybe this time
I took it a little too far...
