The Message Lyrics & Chords By 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 should have 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?
Have a little faith
You're really something special
So why won't you believe it?
That 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
You're not somebody else
You're all the things you'd ever wanna be
So why can't you believe
That 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
And 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?
That 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 now you see
A world where what you dream is what you'll be
