Echo back to me
Sweeter songs
Than I sing.

Echo back to me
Words softer
Than the words
I speak.

I'm not quite as
Good as I'm sure
You thought I was.

Not quite as
Exciting
Not quite as
Perfect.

But **** it,
If I won't try
To live up to
Whatever expectations
You might have had
Of me.

And if I fail,
At least I fail
Trying my heart
Out.
