Letra da Música The Message de Helen Trevillion

Close your eyes, what do you see?
You hate yourself for what you never were,
And what you'll never be.
You paint your world in black and white,
And somehow put yourself below the rest,
Just because you're second best.

Oh, listen to yourself -
There's always something missing,
Something more you could've done.

But if you slam on the brakes at every mistake,
You'll always be one step behind,
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry,
It'll only be tears that you find.

Tell me now, how do you feel?
You're as strong as you believe,
And you've done things that anyone
Would be proud to achieve.
It's always you against the world.
When will you stop fighting for the top
And be content with what you've got?

Oh, have a little faith.
You're really something special,
So why won't you believe it?

If you slam on the brakes at every mistake,
You'll always be one step behind,
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry,
It'll only be tears that you find.
If you slam on the brakes at every mistake,
You'll always be one step behind,
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry,
It'll only be tears that you find.

You close your eyes, and still you see
The memory of how you used to be
Before you... stopped.

So now you try
To resurrect
That part of you
That used to fly, used to shine,
High above the grey and blue.

Oh, you're not somebody else -
You're all the things you'd ever wanna be,
So why can't you believe?

If you slam on the brakes at every mistake,
You'll always be one step behind,
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry,
It'll only be tears that you find.

If the reason you breathe is the goal that you see
Then you'll never be satisfied.
'Cause what's the reward when perfection is flawed,
And the best you can do falls wide?

If you slam on the brakes at every mistake,
You'll always be one step behind,
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry,
It'll only be tears that you find.
