I had begun to dream
You didn’t think I could
It was just out of reach
I tried to prove I would
But reality set in
And it’s slipping away
All while I’m drowning
With each dying day

I’m not special
I can’t do this
I try and I fail
I fail and I miss
From start to finish
You knew the truth
I fail and I miss
This is your proof

It’s too late to start
I left my dreams behind
In the towns I passed
One country at a time
With my home in sight
My life where I left it
I’m losing this fight
Tell me this isn’t it

I’m not special
I can’t do this
I try and I fail
I fail and I miss
From start to finish
You knew the truth
I fail and I miss
This is your proof

Home is where the heart stays
Locked away with my dreams
I’m better off this way
The voice in my head screams
But with nothing else here
I question all I’ve done
Holding onto my fear
Not trying for a home run

I’m not special
I can’t do this
I try and I fail
I fail and I miss
From start to finish
You knew the truth
I fail and I miss
This is your proof

I’m trapped by the fear of my own making
I can’t break through this glass ceiling
Too afraid I’ll be cut by the shards
I can’t break out of this box of feelings

I’m not special
I can’t do this
I try and I fail
I fail and I miss
From start to finish
You knew the truth
I fail and I miss
This is your proof

Love
Roxanne
