I know you're under pressure
But you can't go on feeling this way
It seems like they're out to get ya
Tell me why do you care what they say?

'Cause you've tried hard to be what they want you to be
But you still end up feeling alone
So while everyone waits for their ship to come in
Maybe you should start building your own

Time taps you on the shoulder
As the devil tries pulling you in
The water gets a little colder
And the sharks are all playing to win

And you've tried hard to be what they want you to be
But you still end up feeling alone
So while everyone waits for their ship to come in
Maybe you should start building your own

Can you take control of your own destiny?
Can you let yourself finally be happy?

And you've tried hard to be what they want you to be
But you still end up feeling alone
So while everyone waits for their ship to come in
Maybe you should start building your own

'Cause you've tried hard to be what they want you to be
But you still end up feeling alone
So while everyone waits for their ship to come in
Maybe you should start building your own
