I’d do it on my own, but I can’t
I’d live my own life, believe me I would
But I won’t, no, I can’t
I want to try, I wanna reach high
I want to try and fly
Will someday I reach the sky?
But do I do it for me? Maybe
I just want your applause, is that too much to ask?
Everything I do, can’t you just see it’s all made for you?
I just want your applause, can I get your applause?
I feel like I’m falling, and I know how that sounds
I say I don’t depend on you, but here I am
I’m leanin’ on you
I keep saying I don’t wanna leave
But really, I wanna be 6 feet deep
I want to try, I wanna reach high
I want to try and fly
Will someday I reach the sky?
But do I do it for me? Maybe
I just want your applause, is that too much to ask?
Everything I do, can’t you just see it’s all made for you?
I just want your applause, can I get your applause?
I want to try, I wanna reach high
I want to try and fly
Will someday I reach the sky?
But do I do it for me?
No, no, no
We always try to get you to fly, but I’m on the ground
I just want your applause
We try to lift you up, and here we are, we’re all tryin’
Is it too much to ask?
I just want your applause, is it too much to ask?
I just want to be good for you, is it too much to do?
I just want your applause
I want to try, I wanna reach high
I want to try and fly
Will someday I reach the sky?
But do I do it for me? No, I don’t
It’s for you
I just want your applause, is that too much to ask?
Everything I do, can’t you just see it’s all made for you?
Can’t you just see?
