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 ever comes 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? 



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 crumble 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…
