I may be afraid of failure
I'm afraid of success even more
I don't know what I'll become
Out in the public's eye
And bear my soul to all
Where they'll see what I've become
Surrounded and all alone
Never sure of my friends
Is this the price I'll have to pay
Doing what I love
And living my dream
Is it worth the price I'll have to pay
I'm just a man
I never claimed to be more
I'm just a person
Your words cut to the core
I'm not a god
I'm not a god
Many others have failed before
Maybe they were the lucky ones
Should I quit while I am ahead
One of those things I can't be sure
But I'll still give it my best shot
How do I know if I'm still ahead
I'll never know unless I try
Ignorance is better than success
My nightmares could all come true
I'm just a man
I never claimed to be more
I'm just a person
Your words cut to the core
I'm not a god
It's my fault if it happens
My shame if I don't try.
Be careful it could happen to you
It's my fault if it happens
My shame if I don't try
Be careful it could happen to you
I'm just a man
I never claimed to be more
I'm just a person
Your words cut to the core
It's my fault if it happens
My shame if I don't try
Be careful it could happen to you
