Artist: Fall Out Boy
Track: Reinventing the Wheel to Run Myself Over
Lyrics
I could walk this fine line between elation and success
We all know which way I'm going to strike the stake between my chest
So, "You have to prove yourself"
You'll have to prove it to me
So now you're waiting up for him
You're wasting time, yeah, every time
Whoa, can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself
I can't wake up to these reminders of who I am
A failure at everything, 18 going on extinct
I know my place, it's nowhere you should roam
So now you're waiting up for him
Still wasting time, yeah, every time
Yeah
Whoa, I can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself (can't do it by myself)
Whoa, can't do it by myself
Whoa, can't do it by myself (can't do it by myself)
Whoa, can't do it by myself
"You have to prove!"
