They tell me don't risk it
Don't try it don't take it
What happens if you fail?
Don't succeed, don't make it
They think they all have the answers just for you
And that it's true
And they try to tell me
I should not forget, forget
Hat they try to sell me
But I don't like regrets, regrets
Because all I ever wanted to be was perfect
All I ever wanted to do was anything
All I ever wanted to be was flawless
All I ever wanted to know was everything
So I try
And I heard it all before
They're all so sure that I'm making one big mistake
'Til I make it, no doubts no more and praise galore
Now they just want a piece of the cake
And they tell me
I should not forget, forget
All the little people
Who doubted me and said use your head
Because all I ever wanted to be was perfect
All I ever wanted to do was anything
All I ever wanted to be was flawless
All I ever wanted to know was everything
So I try
And I heard it all before
And I heard it all before
And I heard it all before they're all so sure
