[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

So I'll just keep going forward and I know that

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

So I'll just keep going forward and I know that

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
