There's only so much drama I can take
And emotional heartbreak
As people, we are better now
But the pain is still there somehow
Equipped with tools that exceed my age
Yet, I'm locked in this cage
Right now we could be soaring high
But the clouds of gloom are still in the sky
In the sky
Oh, I can't seem to break away from all my fears
And I've let it consume me in all my tears
Oh, I wish this could all soon disappear
Cause I can't throw away all these years
All these years
So much for being civilized
Instead all feelings are now being realized
A work in progress is what we are
But not much progress I've made so far
Problem after problem for me
At least I'm not the only one I see
Quarrels that put me to the test
Go away so I can rest
It's for the best
There's only so much drama I can take
And emotional heartbreak
Right now we could be soaring high
But the clouds of gloom are still in the sky
In the sky
Oh, I never thought it'd end up being this way
Oh, I don't know what else to say
And I will try to forget about this day
So I can have joy and not be swayed
Not be swayed
