What am I doing here? Where do I belong?
It’s just too obvious that we don’t get along.
I think I’ve lost myself trying to find you.
It’s about time I focus more on what I need to do.

The more I chase down everything I see,
the more I realize, nothing worthwhile is so easy.
So if the best we can have is so messed up,
the best I can do is to give up.

Just because you’re beautiful doesn’t mean you have a heart.
Prove it please, or step aside, but I will not let down my guard.
I’ve told you near a hundred times to simply walk away.
What is the force that keeps you here? The thought that makes you stay?

The more I chase down everything I see,
the more I realize, nothing worthwhile is so easy.
So if the best we have is so messed up,
then why won’t you please just give up?

I don’t need nor want you here. I’ve already moved on.
Now I can’t tell you face to face, so I’m telling you in song.
I’ve decided to forget you. I’ve made up my mind to quit.
But I ask, if this is right, then why am I full of regret?

The more I chase down everything I see,
the more I realize, nothing worthwhile is so easy.
Maybe we could fix what was so messed up,
Oh, why did I ever decide to give up?

You can do whatever you want to do as long as you put your mind to it. "If you think you can do it or think you cannot either way you are right."
