My Truth

[DEVON]
Never got the grades you wanted
Always came up just a little short
Not smart enough
Not wise enough
Sometimes I think I might be better
If I had more of your support
Of some sort

But I finally found something that I believe in
Don't need your approval or your help
But it would be nice if you saw what I'm achievin'
'Cause I'm tired of fighting by myself

Will I ever be good enough for you?
It ain't a pleasure doing exactly
What you think I should do
I may never be good enough for you
That ain't nothin' new
But I'ma live in my truth

[SHAWN]
He only listеns when he wants
That boy ignores my еvery plea
If we don't agree
Then I'm the enemy

I want his life to be much better
Than the life my dad gave me
If only he'd see

I'm giving him everything I believe in
I want him invested in his self
Though, it would be nice if you saw what I'm achievin'
But he only cares about himself

Will I ever be good enough for you?
Don't think I'll ever say exactly
What you want me to
Maybe I'll never be good enough for you
This ain't nothin' new
But I will give you my truth

[DEVON & SHAWN & BOTH]
Where's the compromise
If you talk down to me
Every time? (Give him my truth)

I can't live my life
With your ideals
I've gotta live mine (Teach him the truth)

When it comes to what I say
It's never the right time
It's your way or the highway
But not today
Dad, I'm doing things my way (Son, it's gonna be my way)
I'll do what I say
'Cause I know
I'm gonna be okay (That way he'll be okay)
And he won't like it either way

Will I ever be good enough for you?
(I'll never be good enough for you)
Don't think I'll ever do exactly
(I'll never say the things)
What you want me to?
(That you want me to)
So I'll never be good enough for you
(I'll never be good enough)
That ain't nothin' new

So I'ma live in my (So I'll give you my)
Truth
Live in my (Teach you my)
Truth

Will I ever be good enough, good enough, good enough
(I'll never be good enough)
For you? (For you)
