The American Dream

Oh, how could this be?
You're never gonna make it.
I know it's up to me
just find the words to say it.
Watch me prove them all.
Dead Wrong.

I've never seen such a boy lie
with oh so serious eyes.
A secret kept is a secret safe.
But it's one I've been meaning to break.
Well don't underestimate this teen
it's all in the lines
a line in between.
One too many times I've felt
like I'm the only one to help myself.

Lift me up for just another let down
pull me close and i'll just push away.
Lift me up for just another let down
there's nothing left to say.

Oh, how could this be?
You're never gonna make it.
I know it's up to me
just find the words to say it.
Watch me prove them all Dead Wrong.
Oh, how could this be?
You're never gonna make it.
I know it's up to me
just find the words to say it.
Pay attention, take some notes.
Down for the count that's all she wrote.

I've never seen such a boy lie
such a waste, throw away, you've caught my eye.
Watch the clock like there's somewhere to be.
Well times up, you're coming with me.
Hope for the best all eyes on me
failure's not an option, an option for me.
If all good things must come to an end
the end is the part where we start again.

Give me a pen and I'll give you my
signature right on that line.
A sign that states "It's make or break."
It's up to me to do what it takes.
Watch me close don't look away
