Joseph A.A. - false hope
Living for the approval
Of people i don’t even know
Is it even worth still chasing
Or should i just get on with the show?
I used to thrive off all attention
Used to live for the praise
Trying to make it in a business
Where there’s an overflow anyway
★ c ★
I keep giving myself false hope
That the crowds in the stands will actually stand
Hold up lights to songs i wrote with my own bare hands
And it’ll never do
I keep giving myself false hope
That you will still give me a chance
I’m just a teenage guy with some big, big plans
But will it ever do?
★ v2 ★
Wishing on shooting stars
Trying out for all these shows
But the only thing that gets back
To me is my own piano
Am i good enough?
Will i be enough?
Am i getting to old?
‘cause all my favorite heroes started young
Already performing their own shows
★ c ★
I keep giving myself false hope
That i am just wasting my life
On something i’ve gave my whole heart to
And it’ll never do
I keep giving myself false hope
That you will believe in me
One day, i’ll never forget all that you did
But will it ever do?
★ b ★
Is it time to believe i’m a dream gone wasted?
Is that so hard to do?
Sometimes i fall too hard on the safety net
And i fall right though
Am i enough for you?
Did a self reflection in the mirror
The seasons have rolled by from year to year
Is it time to give up on the thing that led me to you?
That’s something i’m not gonna do
‘cause even though i know that this dream is a long shot
I still got you
Oh, i got you
I'm riding this bullet with you
Because i got you
Thank you for all you do

Biography
While I loved working with that song, I knew exactly what I wanted my style to sound like for my sophomore single. I wanted an upbeat pop song that was completely unexpected and out of nowhere. I wrote “self reflection” with that mindset and kept that idea in the back of my mind.
I wanted “self reflection” to sound like the happier, continued version of “seasons” where the storyline character really found what they wanted and where they were going, and accepted the fact that there are two sides to a relationship, and it’s not one person’s obligation to take ownership for both people in that relationship.
I’m currently working on my debut album, and I cannot wait to share it with you as soon as I can!
