In My Way

So you think you know better

And I'd be nothing alone

And you hold me together

I'm really bad to the bone

You weigh me down when I rise up

My chances you'll just deny

Whenever I get to fill my cup

You're never gonna let me try

You get in my way

You pull me to pieces

You get in my way

You pull me apart

You think you're my conscience

And save me from myself

And all my excesses

And everything else

Well all the things

I could have done

Without you on my back

And all the things I could become

If you just cut me some slack

You get in my way

You pull me to pieces

You get in my way

You pull me apart

You drag me down and hold me back

And stop me in my tracks

You get in my way

You think we're the same

But we're nothing alike

You compromise

When I just wanna strike

You can see hope

When all I see is despair

And you can see love

When I really don't care

You weigh me down when I rise up

My chances you'll just deny

Whenever I get to fill my cup

You're never gonna let me try
