I tried my best, I gave my all
And that's nothing to be ashamed of
Everybody went west and I went north
And that's nothing to be ashamed of
'Cause at the end of it
The counterfeit might stand up and get the reward
I'll be fine to say, a different leaf
If I'm to say that I followed my heart
Losing my place in line
Was the best thing
Was the freedom that I longed for
Losing my place in line
To be different
To give up wearing any envy in my life
I swung the bats, I chased the goals
I got up after every fall
Wore out the treads straight through to the soles
But I got up after every fall
But still, the finish line
The other guy might stand up and get the reward
I'll be fine to say, my best today
If I'm to say that I gave it my all
Losing my place in line
Was the best thing
Was the freedom that I longed for
Losing my place in line
To be different
To give up wearing any envy in my life
