Approval

And I try so hard to put myself where I need to be

But you pull me down

Just like the others do

Right from underneath

You know it's true

For me this is it

Maybe it's all I do

I refuse to let it all just go to waste

Say what you need

Pretend that it is crucial

I don't need your approval

And I try so hard

And I try so hard to ask myself what I want to do

But I circle back, every time I ask

Like it's nothing new

You know it's true

For me this is it

Maybe it's all I do

I refuse to let it all just go to waste

Say what you need

Pretend that it is crucial

I don't need your approval

Don't need it from you

And I try so hard to put myself where I need to be
