Sub City Records - Under Par lyrics

It's my life! [Verse 1] You set the bar too high Your expectations become my failure A shell you see so shallow but deep inside (deep inside) My heart beats just the same as yours The same blood through these clean veins Can't you see that I'm in pain? It seems my life is always under par [Chorus] What can I say to change your mind about what I am? Others can see what was hidden from your sight A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide An inner beauty and a bright light [Verse 2] My focus is not yours I set my sights on new horizons and let my soul have scope Can't you see that I have my own dreams? (my own dreams) And though they're not the same as yours They hold value to me, tell me why can't you see I'm not the means to mend your past regrets? [Chorus] What can I say to change your mind about what I am? Others can see what was hidden from your sight A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide An inner beauty and a bright light [Verse 3] Judged for how I look, not for the good that I have done I try the best I can, but it seems that I'm not the perfect son Shaped by God and my volition and the seeds that you have sown But I ask you once again, When does my life become my own? I am my own! My own! [Chorus] What can I say to change your mind about what I am? Others can see what was hidden from your sight A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide An inner beauty and a bright light
