The Only Thing Real :
You never wanted to be just another failure.
You never wanted to be just another mess.
Don't let them convince you that you're just another failure,
Cause I know it's in you, don't settle for any less
Believe me when I tell you
There's so much that you can do
You've had that all along, all along.
And never doubt what you feel
Cause that's the only thing real
And you can do no wrong, no wrong
And never be daunted if you face another failure.
And never be daunted if you face another mess.
That's just what they wanted, to make you a bit more unsure.
They can't stand if you shine a bit more than all the rest.
Believe me when I tell you
There's so much that you can do
You've had that all along, all along.
And never doubt what you feel
Cause that's the only thing real
And you can do no wrong, no wrong
