Verse
Remember when I caught you crying,
The pains of life were wearing you down,
The next thing we knew I saw you trying,
To escape behind red lipstick and sexy evening gown.

Bridge
That’s why at night, you wait or you breakdown and cry
You don’t know why,
But when it’s light, oh how you flirt and smile
As if you are divine.

Verse
You dance and you drink with vigour,
You prayed that each drink would drown out your pain,
Soon as the attention changed, old memories trigger
And you find you’ve fallen right back down again.

Chorus
And you ask,
Why should I aspire to be my best when all the rest around me,
Carelessly exist without a care or fear of risk, and I said,
Why should all the rest dictate what’s best for you,
When they don’t even have a path that’s true so find yours

Instrumental

Verse
Now after these words I felt you fighting,
The truth that happiness lies in your hands
That you can achieve your dreams and lead the path of your direction,
Just live the day to day life commitments and the dream that heaven commands.

Bridge
That’s why at night, you break down and cry,
We both know why,
Because everyday you waste a golden chance to defy
Your addiction to a mediocre life.

Chorus
And you ask,
Why should I aspire to be my best when all the world around me,
Constantly renews our enforced views and flawed ideals, and I said
How can you accuse the world of flaws when you haven’t lived one day by virtue?
That’s the real cause.
And you ask,
Why should I aspire to be my best when all the rest around me,
Carelessly exist without a care or fear of risk, and I said,
Why should all the rest dictate what’s best for you,
When they don’t even have a path that’s true so find yours.

Но всё равно непонятно - что за песня и кто поет. Если она называется Why should I - то такой песни я не нашла.
