Tears in My Ears Video (MV)

""I kept my eyes on the prize
I kept my feet on the ground
I kept my head in the clouds
All at the same time
I kept my dreams in my bed
I kept the thoughts in my head
I kept the words that you said
And I swallowed mine
I cooked and I ate only the best
Made sure I got plenty of rest
Swore not to smoke and drink
My troubles away
I worked out five times a week
Set aside time to close my eyes and just be
And I found three things
To be grateful for every day

But nothing helps
Nothing is sacred
Nothing can fill the hollowness
In my heart
I've got a sinking feeling
And nothing can shake it
Nothing can light up
This terrible dark


I kept my heart open wide
I kept on smiling when I wanted to cry
And I kept on telling myself
One day everything will be fine
I kept on trying and trying to believe
But sometimes my mind makes it so hard to see
And the tears in my ears
Make it hard to hear

Why do I have to be
My own worst enemy
When I got everything I need
Right in front of me
When can I ever leave
This burden behind me
And finally find the happiness
Inside me
Oooooo

I kept on singing and I played my guitar
Read and I wrote and I tried real hard
To think of the beauty and the joy
To be found in this life
Today was better than the last
And so I am hopeful
You can't relive the past
And for that I am truly glad

But nothing helps
Just gotta feel it
I know I've got so much to give
And so little time
Life is so short
Better not waste it
I've got to get up now
And go make the most of mine""
