Sometimes I think it's better not to try

To turn my back away, and close my eyes

To all the things that fight for my attention

I just neglect them

Sometimes I'd rather blame everyone else

For all the pain and misery I've felt

As if I didn't bring this on myself

I get so selfish

But you

Gladly carry weight you don't deserve

With a debt that you haven't earned

And yet you keep on going with a smile

You make me want to be better, and change my life

You make me wanna be happy, or at least try

To change my whole point of view, to face the worst and pull through

And still have hope in my eyes

I've got a long way to go, but I'll be alright

The road ahead is still rough, but I've changed my stride, and when I

Start to feel blue, I ask myself what you'd do

My shining star, my guiding light

Tired of playing the victim, all my life

I've never learned to take my own advice

A hypocrite, a coward and a pining fool, but you

Fight with everything left in your heart

Forced to finish fights you didn't start

And yet you keep your head up to the sky

You make me want to be better, and change my life

You make me wanna be happy, oh god I'm tryin'

To become somebody new, to go through hell and break through

Instead of pondering why

We got a long way to go, but I'm doing fine

The road ahead ain't so bad when you're by my side, oh I'm so

Lucky to be, where you are my baby

My shining star, my reason why
