Live up to his legacy
Or you’ll end in a bind.
They stop saying you’re ahead
And so you slip behind.
Now I think I’m a loser
I think I’m a fraud
I think it was all just some luck all along.
If I don’t live up the dream
Am I even living at all?
It all dwindled out
The praise and the flames and the reins.
And now look at that
I‘m at the back of the pack.
“Good job, but you could’ve done better”
I hate my whole life
And I’m so far behind
And they can’t see that I’m gripping a tether.
(I wish I never-)
(I wish I never-)
I WISH I NEVER STARTED
AND I WISH I NEVER STOPPED
AND I WISH I NEVER LEARNED TO LOVE
OR TOLD THEM IT WAS “JUST US”
And yes I’m younger
And yes I’m fine
(And sometimes I just wanna die)
