The things you call reality checks To pull me down and try to win Are nothing more than things you've said For me to prove wrong in the end And I don't care what you have to say If it doesn't matter anyway So I'll just keep going forward and I know that I don't need this And you don't need to say That the things I feel Aren't worth even second place So I know that in the end you'll realize And I know that when I succeed you'll open your eyes The way your smile speaks Blares out loud that you're better than me And every time I have to leave I can tell you think you've won something But I don't care, even so, Even if you think it's hopeless So I'll just keep going forward and I know that I don't need this And you don't need to say That the things I feel Aren't worth even second place So I know that in the end you'll realize And I know that when I succeed you'll open your eyes I live by soaring And even if you think you're helping I can't fly when I know that I Am weighed down by a broken wing Even if you tell me that I'm wrong I know that sometimes you have to fall I don't need this And you don't need to act As if the things I think Aren't worth a second glance And I know that in the end you'll realize I give my all and I know that one day my dreams will be mine So I don't need this (I don't need this)
