Despite trying again and again
But she was tired

Who was exhausted, so very exhausted
Of always coming in last
That she gave up on first

Not preserving that exact moment
That she forgot to live in it

So afraid of the problems in front of her
That she never saw
Depression sneaking up behind her
(it strangled her, you know)
