The things you call reality checks
To pull me down and try to win
Are nothing more than things you've said
For me to prove wrong in the end
And I don't care what you have to say
If it doesn't matter anyway
So I'll just keep going forward and I know that
I don't need this
And you don't need to say
That the things I feel
Aren't worth even second place
So I know that in the end you'll realize
And I know that when I succeed you'll open your eyes
The way your smile speaks
Blares out loud that you're better than me
And every time I have to leave
I can tell you think you've won something
But I don't care, even so,
Even if you think it's hopeless
So I'll just keep going forward and I know that
I don't need this
And you don't need to say
That the things I feel
Aren't worth even second place
So I know that in the end you'll realize
And I know that when I succeed you'll open your eyes
I live by soaring
And even if you think you're helping
I can't fly when I know that I
Am weighed down by a broken wing
Even if you tell me that I'm wrong
I know that sometimes you have to fall
I don't need this
And you don't need to act
As if the things I think
Aren't worth a second glance
And I know that in the end you'll realize
I give my all and I know that one day my dreams will be mine
So I don't need this
(I don't need this)
