I sit back on all the chances I'm given that I don't take
It's in my hands to fulfill the story that I'm supposed to make
Already started writing the script when I sang that first note
And now I find myself on this plane with no idea of where to go
When am I going to find myself or will I need someone's help?
When are things going to finally start going well?

[Chorus:]

I don't want to take the back seat like all the times before
Left to pick up the pieces of when I hit the floor
Putting back together my heart for the whole world to see
I don't think I have another bit of strength left in me
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?

The blue skies that were once here in my mind have left me now
And I don't know what there is left to do but cry out loud
I've always been a giver, never complain or take too much
But it seems like all I have to give these days is not enough
If I pray for a little sunshine, will it ever stop the rain?
Maybe if I ask for forgiveness it can take away my pain

I don't want to take the back seat like all the times before
Left to pick up the pieces of when I hit the floor
Putting back together my heart for the whole world to see
I don't think I have another bit of strength left in me
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?

I don't want to be left to guess how life could have been
If I would have truly given all that I have to give
I could run around in circles but then again I've done that before
Never again will I be left to pick up those pieces off the floor

I don't want to take the back seat like all the times before
Left to pick up the pieces of when I hit the floor
Putting back together my heart for the whole world to see
I don't think I have another bit of strength left in me
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?

I don't want to take the back seat like all the times before
Left to pick up the pieces of when I hit the floor
Putting back together my heart for the whole world to see
I don't think I have another bit of strength left in me
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?
