As Good As It Gets

Here I go again Same story, different day Now I feel the rain Washing my dreams away This uphill battle has come to a hault My legs go weak and I wilt under pressure The enemy whispers it’s all my fault Doubting myself, I find no pleasure Tears streaming down my face I see my reflection in the mirror There’s a crushed spirit that lost the race As the broken pieces of my dreams becomes clearer The past rises up and shatters my confidence Where is that girl who dreamed without hesitation? Deep down I know fate doesn’t happen by coincidence Desperately I search for the girl breathing ambition Peering closer I can see the enemy Its empty eyes well up with tears As it points back right at me I’m the one who’s been hiding all these years Crying out to have something to live for Praying to reverse time and erase these regrets I need to believe there is something more Or is this as good as it gets?
