staring at my shadow i see the world around me
never felt as if my existence reflects these walls so proudly
intentions of the past defined so quickly
it's hard to change myself never mind all of the people around me

i try to push it to the side
never put the blame on anybody's head but mine
i'm still searching for my pride
i'll keep searching but there's so many places for it to hide

i try
i've tried so hard to change for you
