Who's to say that your mind won't change

Yesterday's excuses just aren't relevant today

It may take time it may take a strong will

But we don't have to swallow such a bitter pill

Better to have tried

Better to have learned

Better to take that risk

Than let this world wear you down

Half our time's spent wishing for something else

The other half lost in a breath

The standards I set were always for myself

Sorry if you thought they applied to anyone else

I always promised I'd try my best

I can't stand to see you waste what's in yourself

And now I'm asking

Are you happy with second best

It's so contrived and disappointing

To see you complacent like all the rest
