I've been running in circles, breaking all my bones
Climbing up the mountains, trying to bring you home
But every step I take, it feels like I'm alone
I gave you all my heart, but you just want the throne
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
Every single word I say, every single thing I do
Is it ever gonna break through, ever gonna ring true
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
I put up with the madness, the games you like to play
Smiling through the sadness, pretending it's okay
But in the end, I'm wondering, is there another way
To make you see the light, to make you want to stay
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
Every single word I say, every single thing I do
Is it ever gonna break through, ever gonna ring true
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
I've been jumping through the hoops, dancing in the fire
Living on your praise, but I'm so damn tired
What more can I do, what more can I give
When will you see me, see the life I live
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
Every single word I say, every single thing I do
Is it ever gonna break through, ever gonna ring true
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
I'm standing on the edge, waiting for a clue
When's my validation gonna be enough for you
