lyrics

For every word that doesn’t rhyme, every inflection out of time, or sideways simile of mine, I am a failure
& every fight I seem to throw, every solution I don’t know, when I should stay but have to go, I am a failure
Ink’s in the pen not on the page, lose every war I try to wage, why am I up here on this stage, I am a failure
You always had a special way of making me feel like I’m less than I am
You always say I do it wrong, I guess I knew that all along, so I present this awful song, I am a failure
See the disappointment in your eye, discouraged voice, I hear the sigh, shrink-wrapped encouragement, a lie, I am a failure
When I should go, but I wait, every time I stay out late, I confirm what you call fate, I am a failure
You always had a special way of making me feel like I’m less than I am, & when you’re everything to me, you taught me that I’m nothing, I’m nothing, I am nothing
When I misread your every sign, when I cannot walk the line, when I tell you that “I’m fine,” I am a failure

Let’s all fail together, at least we’ll have each other and we won’t have further to fall, we’ll call each other brother or sister for another day won’t pass where I feel like I am a failure
