Always

Always - Wallpaper Story

Always trying to be so good

Remembering to keep my cool

And play by the rules

Always fighting to succeed

Even when I’m on my knees

Losing sight of what it all means

Why does it always have to be so tough

Why do I never feel like it’s ever enough

Always trying so hard to win

Feeling like a loser

Never even coming in

Second or third

And I know it’s absurd

Cuz that’s not what it’s all about

Or so they say…

But look me in the eye

Cuz every night I pray

For my turn to believe the lie

Always gotta be strong

Don’t look back

Just carry on

Always overcome

Keep your mind sharp

Play it smart, don’t look dumb

Always hold on tight

And remember to let go

But whatever you do

Don’t let anyone know

How hard it has been

To sell your soul

Always say it was meant to be:

“I never had any doubt” & “I could ALWAYS see”

Don’t tell us how it came to be

We want not the truth

We believe only the proof

In the lies of what we always see.
