Never settle for anything other than medeocre

i so desire something simple
so Why am I making things so hard
i need to make this better now in my mind
if I can only lower down my guard

would it make you happy
if I swallowed up my pride to follow you
i know that you don't need me
still it's all I hear you telling me to do

pride's so hard to swollow down
especially when it's swelling all the time
maybe I don't have to change a thing
just make believe the changes in my mind

would it make me sorry
if i turned my back and walked away from you
i know that you don't need me
but what if I need you when I do

i'm still kicking around trying to figure out
where should I go now what's this all about

look into my bloodshot eyes
i'm guessing that you've seen this all before
i know i took advantage of your mercy
but you stepped in to even out the score
