The Other Half

We believe in a system that has long been broken
We turn the other cheek without a glimpse of emotion
Always looking out for number one
Why do you need more while others have none?
Measure my worth by what I've done, not what I've become

I've spanned the oceans, I've seen the skies
That's all I'm ever gonna need to get by
My favorite things in life, aren't even things at all
Nothing that drives my soul is even tangible
Just because you want, doesn't mean that you need

We've come so far from the lives that we're meant to live
But there's so much more that I have left to give
We always borrow time that can't be given back (Can't be given back)
We let it slip away and never pick up the slack

I've spanned the oceans, I've seen the skies
That's all I'm ever gonna need to get by
My favorite things in life, aren't even things at all
Nothing that drives my soul is even tangible
Just because you want, doesn't mean that you need

Force fed and misled
Now we hang by a thread
Force fed and misled
Now we hang by a thread
Force fed and misled
But not me, I see red

(You need to hear this)
Measure my worth by what I've done, not what I've become
(Are you listening?)
Measure my worth by what I've done, not what I've become

I've spanned the oceans, I've seen the skies
That's all I'm ever gonna need to get by
My favorite things in life, aren't even things at all
But they're the things that keep my heart full
They keep my heart full

I've spanned the oceans, I've seen the skies
That's all I'm ever gonna need to get by
My favorite things in life, aren't even things at all
But they're the things that keep my heart full
