Ambition

We never agreed from the very start,

There was a misunderstanding
I thought you were cool, and then you broke my heart
You're just a bit too demanding
You only aim for the highest and ask for my best
Take all my efforts, but won't let me rest

So I want to come clean and tell you what I think
I'd like to make a suggestion
You need to slow down and learn to compromise
And take a minute to listen

Oh ambition, you keep me wishing
For a life I may never find
You push me harder, you push me farther
Up that ladder you make me climb
Oh ambition, sometimes I wish that you weren't mine

I guess I could say when I think of you
I have a sense of suspicion
'Cause I'm not really sure if you're helping me
So tell me what's your intention?

You want to make lots of money and buy fancy things
Set higher standards and goals to achieve

So I think that it's time we should have a talk
To try to end this confusion
Can we call it a truce and go our separate ways?
A diplomatic solution

Oh ambition, you keep me wishing
For a life I may never find
You push me harder, you push me farther
Up that ladder you make me climb
Oh ambition, sometimes I wish that
Oh ambition, sometimes I wish that
Oh ambition, sometimes I wish that you weren't mine
