lyrics
I try to be something I'm not.
I try to be myself, but better.
I don't know what that might entail, but I'll sure try.
Isn't that what we're here for?
Throw a hand in, make it better?
I can't help but think it's gone awry.
And everything is not alright.
Yeah, everything is not alright.
Stepping up my game a bit,
I've gotta be the best at somethin,
I don't know what that might entail, but I'll sure try.
Who are you to say I'm wrong?
Were you given all the answers?
What you're telling me is no, so why?
Please don't waste my precious time,
Oh, please don't waste my precious time.
