The projector's on, these lights are off

She's teaching the colors in classrooms

As the interest is lost

Her career has been put in perspective today

Is this really what she wanted to be?

She lectures students, they all tease her from the back row

They're just here for the credit

But they're making her sure that she'll never be back in a classroom again

Is there anything you can say to convince me I'm on the right track?

I'm moving forward, no need to look back now

I'm questioning all this time and all the money spent

Was any of it worth all the effort that was put in?

Turns on a video and immediately she leaves the room

Slams the door, release the stress

And this will prove this job takes strength, this job takes dedication

Well, the students convinced her that she doesn't need it anymore

Well, there's nothing you can do to convince me that I am on the right track

Not moving forward, I'm on my way back down to where it all starts again

Still paying bills, four whole years and still no career
