am i not pretty enough?
is my heart too broken?
do i cry too much?
am i too outspoken?
don't i make you laugh?
should i try it harder?
why do you see right through me?

i live, i breathe, i let it rain on me.
i sleep, i wake, i try hard not to break.
i crave, i love, i've waited long enough.
i tried as hard as i can.

i laugh, i feel, i make believe it's real.
i fall, i freeze, i pray down on my knees.
i hope, i stand, i take it like a man.
i try as hard as i can.
