my chance

you say you'll always be there
you'll always be the one to care
but everytime I need you yah turn into air
it makes me mad because it just isn't fair
it hurts me so bad because I don't understand
its like I go around with a smile on my face
even though i'm upset like i have no place
i keep pushing going at a steady pace
you can't understand why i say the things i do
you can't understand me because i ain't you
yeah its true
i regret some of the things that i do
maybe things are just mistakes and i can  learn
maybe i should sit back and think before i make a wrong turn
but sometimes i don't know when i'll get it i gotta be stearn
so i sit in my room after everyday and think about what i did
i think about what i coulda' done and why i didn't have more fun
i think about everything that strains my mind
and when i get done i can't do anything i have no time
my light is diming no time for me to shine
yeah these are all the reasons i sit here sayin' i'm fine
i'm wild i pick my fruit from the vine
i get my sap from the pine
but after everything that i've been through i still don't get it
i sit there and take it and say that imma' win it
but after all that i do and all that i say
people still blow me off day after day
so i sit here thinkin' bout you and all the things we use to do
everything just rolls and flows and comes and goes
everytime and everyday i know that i need to break away
so this is my chance
