Almost Made It

This isn't what I asked for

This isn't what you promised

Looking for the trapdoor

If I’m being honest

Feels like I've been a hostage

A prisoner of the times

Chasing a moving target

I’ll jump, just tell me how high

I bit my tongue, I tasted blood

Turned a blind eye, begging for love

Decorate me with medals

Then tell me I'm not special

Threw the first punch, I was so young

I've been toned down, I was warm once

How much longer can I be told to crawl for fool's gold?

When I’m numb and I have no money

They’ll feed me crumbs to keep me waiting

When I’m down and I have nobody

They'll say oh honey, you've almost made it

Take me down, turn me inside out

Oh honey, you've almost made it

Oh, I think I've had enough now

Oh honey, you've almost made it

When did all the butterflies

Start to feel like deadweight?

They tell me to move forward

Then go and stand in my way

I bit my tongue, I tasted blood

Turned a blind eye, begging for love

Decorate me with medals

Then tell me I'm not special

Threw the first punch, I was so young

I've been toned down, I was warm once

How much longer can I be told to crawl for fool's gold?

When I’m numb and I have no money

They’ll feed me crumbs to keep me waiting

When I’m down and I have nobody

They'll say oh honey, you've almost made it

Take me down, turn me inside out

Oh honey, you've almost made it

Oh, I think I've had enough now

Oh honey

Don't say I'm cold, then watch me fall

From elusive highs 'cause I gave it all

That's what dreams are made of

It's all the same, I don't feel pain

I don't feel happy and I don't feel shame

That's what dreams are made of

Oh honey, you've almost made it

Begging for love

Oh honey, you've almost made it

Oh honey, you've almost made it
