[00:01.14]Between me and you, they don’t like what I do.
[00:05.58]I shouldn’t take it to heart, ‘cause that’s all I’m used to.
[00:10.45]I’ve spent hundreds of hours on coffee and chords,
[00:13.89]Inside of my dorm room, recording my words,
[00:16.12]So I could be told, “This whining is getting old.”
[00:20.26]This is a battle of pride and progress,
[00:25.51]‘Cause I love what I do regardless.
[00:30.45]They might be right,
[00:32.51]But don’t let their words change your life.
[00:38.20]
[00:44.26]Sure, it’s the truth, but it hurts all the same.
[00:48.58]I have grown out of t-shirts I thought fit you too,
[00:52.14]Now my pictures have put me to shame, ‘cause
[00:54.39]Now I see someone that I don’t recognize,
[00:56.95]From poses he made to the lust in his eyes.
[00:59.27]I couldn’t take his advice if I tried.
[01:02.70]‘Cause he’s dead inside
[01:04.08]This is a battle of pride and progress,
[01:08.70]‘Cause I love what I do regardless.
[01:10.89]
[01:13.61]They might be right,
[01:15.60]But don’t let their words change your life.
[01:21.44]
[01:28.10]Don’t go living for someone else
[01:30.35]‘Cause you’ll never be happy with yourself
[01:32.66]Unless you feel the best when you feel empty
[01:37.88]
[01:57.26]This is a battle of pride and progress,
[02:01.38]‘Cause I love what I do regardless.
[02:06.38]They might be right,
[02:08.26]
[02:13.63]But don’t let words their change your life.
