To her, it felt like she was on the edge
Ready to dive in but still contained everything in
She thought she could handle it otherwise they'd label her as weak
For she knew the 'survival of the fittest theory'

She has a lot on her shoulders
Ironic, how she doesn't have a shoulder to cry on
Or maybe she doesn't want them to know her as a cry-baby,
For she had heard a million times, life ain't easy

She wanted to scream, wanted to take a pause
But she knew very well that it would be a race she couldn't catch up on
All the problems she kept in began to shake her core
Making her feel like the champagne bottle's cork
Any moment now
She felt she could explode like a volcano
But they say it ain't over 'till it's over and you're a corpse.
