Weary eyed and a hopeless demeanor A troubled mind with a pressure to find A clear sense of direction Another lecture, another lesson On what it is to live a life like this To watch it flash before your eyes and wish Things turned out the way they should I've never felt this misunderstood I'm bound to be a failure That look in your eyes tells me you know that I'm right But if I start giving in to pressure I'll just do the same I'll let you down in another way Trapped in this hourglass I feel the sand beneath my feet Act like there's nothing wrong Wait until the stress is gone I'll cross that bridge when I know we've come to it I'm not sure but not right now Leave me be and let me figure this one out I'm bound to be a failure That look in your eyes tells me you know that I'm right But if I start giving in to pressure I'll just do the same I'll let you down in another way I'm bound to be a failure ♪ Start giving in to pressure You are my voice of reason and not a force of nature I know you're looking out for me But I won't cave in to pressure
