"You need me"
They say it so gallantly
But who would they be
If it weren't for me?
I'm disheartened
Cause I've stained my craft with blood
Yet they tell me all I need is luck
What I need is to be believed in
This work I threw all beads in
He gave one pat on the back
I fell through the cracks
Frequent underachievement
This path, so damn deceiving
My dreams are fading away
One by one by one
Oooh
One by one by one by one
Oooh
One by one by one
What's the point in a life spent dreaming?
One by one by one by one
If they're all gonna pass me by
One by one by one
We were leaving
As if we're destined to be
One of meaning and of rarity
I need to be believed in
This work I threw all beads in
He gave one pat on the back
I fell through the cracks
Frequent underachievement
This path, so damn deceiving
My dreams are fading away
One by one by one
Oooh
One by one by one by one
Oooh
One by one by one
What's the point in a life spent dreaming?
One by one by one by one
If they're all gonna pass me by
One by one by one
What's the point in a life spent dreaming?
One by one by one by one
If they're all gonna pass me by
One by one by one
She preaches that all good voices be heard
Sadly we don't live in that kind of world
She preaches that all good voices be heard
Sadly we don't live in that kind of world
Oooh
One by one by one by one
They all pass me by
One by one by one
