[Verse 1]
I wish I cleaned up months ago
So no one ever got to tell me that I told you so, you know
Cause' everybody wants to feel a little smarter than you
I was against it, now Iґm a part of it too
I'm sorry I never meant to bum you out
Now I'm coming over only trying to calm you down
I never pictured life like this, they tell me life's a b**h
And I say I agree
I'm thinking bout' the time when I didn't have lights
Didn't have food and I didn't have pride
I didn't have sh** but a candle and a book
It's snowing outside and I'm shivering like, ooh
Damn, this can't be it
But still I'm thinking someway I can handle this
I never handled it, I felt inatiquite
And now I'm sitting in the middle of the damages, mad at me
[Chorus]
Thank you, for giving me the strength I need
I hope you know what you did for me
I admit it, Iґm proud to say
Because of you Iґm living my dreams x4
[Verse 2]
Cla** clown, I never paid much attention
Six years later now I'm paying for my lateness
I was unable in some ways I guess, but
Give me a pen and se what I do to paper
Yeah that's what I do, call it a specialty
Like A-ha baby, no one could ever take on me
That works for a couple of years and I'm
Happy I did it cause' I could travel around And
See places, meet people, who took me seriously
Instead of walking right past like I didn't exist
It feels so close to being over
I know it's gonna stop before I get to where I wanna
And that scares me, but on the other hand
I had a blast coming this far, I love it man
I wouldn't trade my experience for nothing
Thank you for making me feel like a something
[Chorus]
Thank you, for giving me the strength I need
I hope you know what you did for me
I admit it, Iґm proud to say
Because of you Iґm living my dreams x4

Because of you Iґm living my dreams x4
