No one is harder on me than myself Or so it seems And some say that you are my curse My own worst enemy I think they're wrong I never thought our life could be like this I never thought [Chorus] I'll be your safe ride home when you call me I'll be everything and more When you call my name I thought no one is smarter than me No, I don't need anyone's help! Or so it seemed (I was so wrong) You changed me for the good They never understood But even if they tried, I doubt they could
So take my nervous hands And we can take a stand We don't have to live by their demands, yeah I never thought life could be like this I never thought [Chorus] When I'm with you, there's no worries When I'm with you, there's no shame When I'm with you, I'm secure We choose to live against the grain They could say we lack the progress They could say that we're a mess They could say we'll never make it I know we're better than their test And I don't hear them anyway [Chorus]
