It's been a while
Since I was last honest to myself
Just because the last thing I gave you was a smile
Doesn't mean I'm happy with myself on the inside

It's been a while
Since I last told myself
"I can do anything"
Because thanks to reality

I don't believe that anymore
Just so you know, it's a cruel world out there
It can crush your dreams and tear you apart
And it can break your face, or heavy your heart

But that doesn't mean
You can just give it up
And that certainly doesn't mean
You can lose faith in yourself

There's still hope for you
Hope for you, and I
It matters what you do
It matters what you think

Because as long as you hold on to that hope
And clutch onto that dream, so tightly
You cannot let it go, and no matter what
You can always change... your destiny
