Growing up i'm told
It's not perfect
"you got to be better"
I have to be better
When i thought
I've made the mile
You said
"you gotta run faster"
I have to run faster
I'll be, i'll try
Ideal in your eyes
I'll be everything that you want
Just choose me as you want
Disappointments -- that i would not have
The kind of boy you're proud of
The kind of boy you're proud of
I take the blame
I've misbehaved
But i'll make it all better
I will be better
I failed you both
I take this oath
Promise it will be better
I will be better
I'll be, i'll try
Ideal in your eyes
The kind of boy that fakes smile like i'm told
Force tears to not seem cold
Turn coal to a brick of gold
A mold to be
The kind of boy you're proud of
The kind of boy you're proud of
