It's hard to keep positive when you don't feel positive inside
When you keep smiling and all your feelings you want to hide
When you don't want people to know how you really feel
When you've built so many layers that it's hard for people to peel
It's hard to keep going when you don't know what the future is
It's hard to keep your hopes up when your life is losing it's fizz
It's hard to expect things to turn out great
It's hard to keep going when all you do is hesitate
It's hard to keep going when you don't know where you're going to
But you just keep feeling optimistic that one day you'll have a clue
That maybe the way will be shown to you
And then you'll know exactly what you need to do
It's hard to keep going when you don't know what the future is
It's hard to keep your hopes up when your life is losing it's fizz
It's hard to expect things to turn out great
It's hard to keep going when all you do is hesitate
It's hard to keep expecting that everything will turn out okay
When you keep running into things that stop you on your way
But you keep going in the same direction anyway
Hoping that what you're doing in the end will have some sort of pay
It's hard to keep going when you don't know what the future is
It's hard to keep your hopes up when your life is losing it's fizz
It's hard to expect things to turn out great
It's hard to keep going when all you do is hesitate
It's hard to not expect the worst when you've had it so many times
When things haven't turned out okay when you've had some difficult climbs
You thought you knew what you were doing but ended up doing it wrong
And you gave up in the end because you didn't feel very strong
It's always hard, life is hard, that's the way it has always been
It's a test to how willing you are and how keen
It's there to test you and to see how strong you are
To see where you belong and where you'll go and how far
It's hard to keep going when you don't know what the future is
It's hard to keep your hopes up when your life is losing it's fizz
It's hard to expect things to turn out great
It's hard to keep going when all you do is hesitate
