As I watch the clockMy whole heart starts to dropTimes ticking awayIt doesn't stopOn that mission againLeaving behind what matters the mostThe tears cloud my visionI pretend to be fine but that's a jokeInside I'm torn to shredsBefore I fly high I numb the headIt's part nerves part excitement part dreadWish I could tell youSomething different insteadIt's bittersweetI'm off balanceMy choice hangs in the balanceI love the feelingThe challengeBut I love them moreTime to punch the clockThe cycle never stopsI'm feeling pressure to pleaseTo appease all sides and meDon't get me wrongDon't misunderstandI love my workIt's my passionI take nothing for grantedNot a thingNothingIt's bittersweetI'm off balanceMy choice hangs in the balanceI love the feelingThe challengeBut I love them moreAs the long hand marks the minutesOn the clockThat goes tic then tocMy soul is achingMy heart is breakingIt's bittersweetI'm off balanceMy choice hangs in the balanceI love the feelingThe challengeBut I love them moreBut I need them moreI need it allTo fulfill the callI need balance
