[Lyric] Work Harder (David Taylor Gomes)

[LILY]
I’ve always been the good little sister
Never even try to speak my mind
Just keep my lips on lock, don’t take the chance to talk
But the thoughts in my head still scream and shout

Once or twice I’d forgotten
How to smile and play nice
Let out one thought, then:
“You need to shut your mouth.”
“Don’t know what you’re talking about.”
No one listens to me
They’re too busy speaking

Don’t tell me to hurry up and wait
Then tell me that I’m still too late
When you’re yelling
“Lily, this is our fate!
Work harder! Work smarter!”

It seems likе there’s no way to win herе
And feels like I might spend the whole year
Working harder, working smarter
Working for a break
That’s never coming
I tell myself not to freak out
Cause you know that totally always works
Just breathe, you’ll be fine, that’s nice
But it’s not really helping

Although I don’t want to do this
I think the only way out is to go through this!
But why does this feel so wrong?
I don’t know where I belong
I just know where I don’t wanna be

I don’t want to hurry up and wait
Then find out that I’m still too late
I’m here yelling, “This is not my fate!
To work harder, work smarter!”

But when the pressure is on, will I make it?
If I had a choice, would I take it?

When you don’t have a voice
You never have a choice

I have to compete, there’s no way around it
If there’s a way out, then I haven’t found it

I feel the pressure, building within me
Will this endeavor finally beat me?
Why do I have to fight ‘til I turn blue?
There’s got to be a better way out!
Is this my fate?
Is this my fate?
To work harder?

Just breathe, you’ll be fine…
Just breathe, you’ll be fine…
Just breathe, you’ll be fine…
