Do Not Try

I.
Wake me up from this dream
Life’s not what it seems
Where do I lie…? lie...?
What good is there in me?
I have to show the world

Chorus
You took my breath away
I don’t know what to say
I’ll just do what I have to do
I won’t try because I won’t fail
This is the last chance to prove myself
…to you…

II.
This won’t be easy
But I will succeed
I won’t give up… up…
I have the will to carry on
For my sake, and yours

Chorus
You took my breath away
I don’t know what to say
I’ll just do what I have to do
I won’t try because I won’t fail
This is the last chance to prove myself
…to you…

Bridge
I needed direction
You pushed me the right way
Many thanks for the good you brought to me
I don’t live life alone, I got you
