So you want the future

You want it now

Want to be something

To rise above

Pressure's on

Gloves are off

Work hard

Harder

Hardest

Be on top

Sell out others

Short change yourself

Be desperate

Stop at nothing

You'll be the best

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

(but it's a possiblity)

And I'll be left behind

And never be anything at all

Because I don't have what it takes

No matter what they say

I will never be anything

And sitting here now, well, all I can say is

This is what it feels like to fall short of your dream

To fail unexpectedly, going against how things seemed

This is what it feels like to be a cut below the rest

After bleeding your heart out, after giving your best

This is what it feels like to be left behind

And be expected to sit here pretending you don't mind

This is what it feels like to see your future slip away

To see all you hoped for move far out of your way

This is what is feels like to watch others reach the stars

While you slowly fade away like the lights on passing cars

This is what it feels like to be helpless and cold

To be sitting here thinking and just growing old

This is what it feels like to feel like you've been kicked down

Knocked miles away from where you once wore the crown

And this is what it feels like to live sometimes

In situations like this, there's no such thing as small crimes
