You've always told me just to be myself To make decisions based on who I thought I'd become Gave me every chance The path I chose led me to this life I hope I'm everything you wanted to see All I ever wanted was to make you proud I tried everything to do my best But failure always seems to grab me by the neck How much longer will it take to justify all my mistakes? I just want you to believe that this is where I was meant to be How much longer will it take to justify all my mistakes? I just want you to believe that this is where I'm finally free I'm not the perfect son you thought I would be I can't shake the feeling that somehow I failed you Every minute, every dollar I've wasted Promising so much and delivering nothing I swear to you I'm trying to succeed I hope you understand this is all for you Everything I am is to prove to you That I won't be broken I'm the end result of all my bad decisions How much longer will it take to justify all my mistakes? I just want you to believe that this is where I'm finally free This is where I'm finally free
