Why Not Me

I'm watching my friends all succeed
Honestly, they deserve it
But I'm selfishly over here asking
Why not me?
We're all driving to the same place
I'm just stuck in the slow lane
I impatiently wait while they pass me
Why not me?
When I'm down and biting the dust
A little voice is shouting: Get up!
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
Dig down deep and say
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count
But don't you ever count me out
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep, say: Why not me?
Fixated I sharpen my teeth
Underdogs getting hungry
I've been biding my time, I've been waiting
Hide and seek, what I'm missing
The thoughts of me giving up fade away
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated
That's when I say
When I'm down and biting the dust
A little voice is shouting get up
'Cause when it hurts
I'm brushing it off
Dig down deep and say
Why not me?
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count but
Don't you ever count me out
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep
Say: Why not me?
Hide and seek, what I'm missing
The thoughts of me giving up fade away
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated
That's when I say
(When I say, when I say)
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count but
Don't you ever count me out
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep
Say: Why not me?
