Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?
Sun Tzu


I’m never gonna be perfect
According to you
I’m a huge disappointment
I don’t have a clue
But while you go on
Ridiculing me
I now understand
Now I see

You think that you’re right
And you think I’m always wrong
But no matter what you say
I’ll keep going strong
I won’t let you hold me back
I’ll live my life my way
I’m picking up the pieces
Save them for another day

The times and faces may change
But this has been done before
The cycle won’t continue
No not anymore
This is where it ends
I’m drawing the line
According to me
I’ll be fine

You think that you’re right
And you think I’m always wrong
But no matter what you say
I’ll keep going strong
I won’t let you hold me back
I’ll live my life my way
I’m picking up the pieces
Save them for another day

Now everything’s clear
I hope you’re so proud to see
That I didn’t let your hurt
Make a mess of me
You shattered my heart
You thought there wouldn’t be a way
That I could just pick up the pieces
And save them for another day

I wrote this out of anger at my parents. They grounded me over something really stupid and this is what came out.
