You gotta read the signs

When you try something out,
And it just doesn't pan,
No matter how hard you try,
And worse yet, you feel inside,
That you should not do it like that,
I'll tell you what, you gotta read the signs.
 
When you give it your all,
And hold nothing back,
When the ones that know say stop,
And the ones that love say no more,
Pause a while and understand,
You gotta read the signs.
 
Yet when everyone says nay,
But in your heart you see a yes,
When your gut says why not,
Even when the wiseman say no,
When your brain says here we go,
And your mind says I second that,
Don't let anything hold you back,
And give it all you've got,
Because you've just read the signs.
