Tell Me Something I Don't Know

Everybody who tells me, who I speak to says it's so hard to make it, but yet so hard to break it or even get a break from it, there's no way to fake the whole scenario. Everybody keeps telling me that it's wrong to how I feel about it; that I shouldn't believe in it, the dreams that I'm dreaming shouldn't be persuaded. I hear it every day. I hear it all the time. To the point that I'm never going to amount anything but they're never going to change my mind; as I'm going to prove them wrong every time.

Oh! Tell me, tell me, tell me. Something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know. Instead of a broken track record. Tell me something that I don't know; like how many inches in a mile? What I can do to make you smile? Not keep treating me like a child.

Everybody tells me I don't know what I'm doing; this life I'm trying to pursue, all the odds of me losing are piling up and everybody tells me that it's just one in a million. More like one in a billion or one in a zillion. Yet I hear it every day. I hear it all the time. I'm never gonna amount to much. They're never going to change my mind. No!

How many inches in a mile because I don't know? Are you going to tell me something that would make you smile? Other than treat me like a child. My life inside me asked me “are you ready for it?” I replied “Yeah I'm ready for it.” “Really ready for it?” “Yeah I'm ready for it.” Now that I'm on my way, I know I'm going to get there one day soon. It doesn't help when you say that it won't be easy.

How many inches are there in a mile? What has it got to take to make you smile? Than treating me like a child. How many inches are there in a mile! What has it got to take to make you smile? Because you treat me like a child baby.

Just tell me, tell me, tell me. Just tell me something I don't know, just tell me something I don't know, just tell me something I don't know. As I'm waiting in the rain in front of you; to tell me something that I really don't know, like are you going to support me or not.

Because I know I will never make the same mistakes that you did; I will never let myself cause so much misery for my heart, as I will not break the way that you fell so hard onto the ground. I've learned the hard way before it actually gets that far. Because of you. I'm never too far from the path that I want to take. Because of you. I learned to play on the safe side so that I won't get hurt. Because of you I find it a lot harder trust not only just me, but everyone around me.

Because of you I am afraid that I'm going to lose my way and it's not too long before you point it out. That I cannot cry I know that's the weakness in your eyes; yet I'm forced to fake it, with a smile and a laugh every day of my life. My heart wasn't even whole to start with; so my heart can't possibly break, just tell me something that I don't know.

Just tell me!
