Best Laid Plans

by Ben Centra

/

lyrics

I wasn't meant to join the circus
I can't juggle flaming torches
And I tumbled from the tight rope
Now I'm the big joke

And I never tamed the lion
Chased around the ring I'm crying
I took shelter in the freak show
There's nowhere to go

But I believe
I have dreams
Like everybody else has dreams
And I believe
Maybe my dreams might come true

Though I've done the best I can
It's not enough for all my best laid plans
After all, I'm only human
It's not enough for all my best laid plans
My best laid plans

I wasn't meant to be a rock star
All the roads would take me too far
My voice cracks upon the high notes
Now I'm the big joke

And I keep on getting stage fright
Stand there sweating in the limelight
Broke my B-string on the solo
There's nowhere to go

But I believe
I have dreams
Like everybody else has dreams
And I believe
Maybe my dreams might come true

Though I've done the best I can
It's not enough for all my best laid plans
After all, I'm only human
It's not enough for all my best laid plans
My best laid plans

I fill my head with so many crazy schemes
But it all falls down in the end
I plan, I work, I fight, I kick, I sweat, I bleed
I get back up and try again

Still I believe
I have dreams
Like everybody else has dreams
And I believe
Maybe my dreams might come true

Though I've done the best I can
It's not enough for all my best laid plans
After all, I'm only human
It's not enough for all my best laid plans
My best laid plans

Though I've done the best I can
It's not enough for all my best laid plans
After all, I'm only human
It's not enough for all my best laid plans
My best laid plans
