[ALDERPAW] I'll be the best they've ever seen! I'll make them so dang proud of me It'll take some work to get where I need to go... But I'll be there before I know!
And it's hard. And I'm tired. But I'll work to get higher-...! But it seems I've lost all function in my legs... Is this normal?
It's fine! I'm fine! Am I fine? I'm sure it's fine! (Am I gonna die?)
Ugh-!
I'm a wreck! I'm in a downward spin. And I don't know-... What it feels like to win But they tell me- Just gotta put in the work, “you'll be fine.” And they tell me "Everyone falls down, time to time..."
But no matter how hard I try There's this little voice in my mind. And it tells me every time That I will not be fine.
I'll be the best they've ever seen! (You'll fall, you'll trip, you'll make a scene) It'll take some work to get where I need to go (They're better off without you, you know…) Woah oh-oh...
It's hard. (too hard) I'll work (Won't work!)
[ALDERPAW, spoken] I just gotta keep telling myself that I'll be fine!
It's fine- (Not fine!)
I'm fine,- (Not Fine!)
We're fine.- (Not FINE!)
I'm sure it's fine! (NOT FINE!)
I'm a wreck! I'm downward spin! And I-... I don't know what it feels like to win! But they Tell me “Just gotta put in the work, I'll be fine.” And they tell me “Everyone falls down once or twice”
And though I try- And though I reach for the sky! There's this voice that's getting louder in the back of my mind. Saying I'm not fine! It's screaming at me saying, I'm Not FINE!
I'm a mess, My life's an uphill climb, I get halfway up, but I slip down every time. And I honestly don't ever think I will ever be fine! Cause my head it keeps screaming, you'll always be behind!
And they tell me it's alright, Everyone takes their own time, But my time is moving backwards, I don't think I'll get it right! Cause I'm losing my own battle, Cannot find the will or might, Cause the little voice that's supposed to cheer me on Is the one I have to fight…
