The nickel dropped
When I was on
My way beyond
The Rubicon
What did I do?
And of the games that I could handle
None of ‘ems worth a candle
What should I do?
I'm a frightened, fickle person,
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin',
What should I do?
Oooh, after all the folderol
And hauling over cold stops
What will I do?
Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don't feel just to smile til I had one
Where did I learn?
I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where's the turn?
I don't want a home, I’d ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it turn?
Oooh, after all the folderol
Hauling over coal stops
What did I learn?
I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry and complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damn breeze dry my face
Ooh mister wait until you see
What I’m gonna be
I got a plan, a demand and it just began
And if you're right, you'll agree
Here it’s coming a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
When I was on
My way beyond
The Rubicon
What did I do?
And of the games that I could handle
None of ‘ems worth a candle
What should I do?
I'm a frightened, fickle person,
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin',
What should I do?
Oooh, after all the folderol
And hauling over cold stops
What will I do?
Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don't feel just to smile til I had one
Where did I learn?
I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where's the turn?
I don't want a home, I’d ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it turn?
Oooh, after all the folderol
Hauling over coal stops
What did I learn?
I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry and complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damn breeze dry my face
Ooh mister wait until you see
What I’m gonna be
I got a plan, a demand and it just began
And if you're right, you'll agree
Here it’s coming a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me

I am confused about this section: "I am likely to miss the main event If I stop to cry and complain again So I will keep a deliberate pace Let the damn breeze dry my face" Does she mean that she will continue suffering in order not to miss the 'main event' (to learn something), she'll not do anything to stop suffering (rather, keep a deliberate pace), but she'll let the breeze (time) do it for her?
