People criticize the way I live my life 
but who are they to put me down 
I try my best and thank the lord I´m blessed everyday 
and though I´ve had my share of highs, it made me realise 
that nothing [bad word] for free 
all I do is try and make the most of being me 
but sometimes you get to the point 
where you just can´t go on and it feels like the end of the road 
but if you keep going round 
with your head in the clouds will you see what´s right under your nose? 
 [bad word] 

And if it´s never gonna be 
don´t try to hold on 
see everybody has a dream 
that doesn´t seem to go right 
you´re not the only one who hurts 
there´s people going through so much worse 
and still I try, to live my life and get by… 

everybody thinks they know how life should go 
but nothing ever goes to plan 
all we seem to do is wait around for something more 
and though I´ve been just where you´ve been I tried to chase a dream 
I´ve watched it [bad word] to the ground 
that I´m still standing stronger than I ever have before 
so you should keep moving on 
till you know that it´s right when it is you´ll know from the inside 

But if it´s never gonna be 
don´t try to hold on 
see everybody has a dream 
that doesn´t seem to go right 
you´re not the only one who hurts 
there´s people going through so much worse 
and still I try, to live my life and get by… 

everyday all I do 
is never quite enough 
and in every way, I can say 
I've been close to giving up 
if I wanted to I could be 
anything I wanna be 
it´s taken time for me to realise 
that dreams ain´t always what they seem 

So if it´s never gonna be 
don´t try to hold on 
see everybody has a dream 
that doesn´t seem to go right 
you´re not the only one who hurts 
there´s people going through so much worse 
and still I try, to live my life and get by… 

And if it´s never gonna be 
don´t try to hold on 
see everybody has a dream 
that doesn´t seem to go right 
you´re not the only one who hurts 
there´s people going through so much worse 
and still I try, to live my life and get by…
