I don’t think I was cut out for this
and I wouldn’t say that I’ve been doing my best
Every pat on my back feels like a brick
When it’s hard enough trying to reach the bare minimum
It all comes to me and I’ve done nothing to earn it
So when you criticise my strides you make me feel worthless
In your eyes I know nothing of what hard work is
and lethargy’s got me convinced that I don’t deserve this now
Sit me down let’s talk it out and we’ll try to make amends
Offer up all your wisdom with malicious intent
I’ll try to take it an and separate the positive
But the words play on repeat and I’m left shaking in a fit of violence
We have to make the same mistakes, it’s how we learn
Like touching hot water and feeling the burn
It’s one thing to be told but if you can’t do it on your own
You’ll never really grow, we’ll never know who we are
It might be out of spite but now I’m inspired
Although it doesn’t take long for that drive to expire
Indifference shows exactly what’s missing
Motivation or meaning, something to say or to believe in
What did I expect, for it to fall in my hands
Rotations of the sun bring on new circumstance
But no matter what the onset of the feeling
It’s still the same beating
We have to make the same mistakes, it’s how we learn
Like touching hot water and feeling the burn
It’s one thing to be told but if you can’t do it on your own
You’ll never really grow, we’ll never know
Irrational or real, fighting for the wheel
I’m not sure what to believe, my heart or the things you tell me
I can’t do this on my own
We have to make the same mistakes, it’s how we learn
Like touching hot water and feeling the burn
It’s one thing to be told but if you can’t do it on your own
You’ll never really grow, we’ll never know who we are
