"Don't be depressed if you don't make."
"Don't be surprised if it's not as fun as you expected."
"Don't be mad if you don't get it."
"It's very hard for anyone to be successful in that kind of thing."

So life goes on and I don't bother trying to make it,
I'm not enthusiastic about it being fun at all
I don't try for jobs, that way I won't get them
Success is difficult, so why give it a shot?

There's so many thing I wanted to try
But I feel it might be outlandish
So I just remain here paralyzed
My ambitions break on site, and I can't stand it.

I want to be a lawyer, but they're not making money
I want to try comedy, but what's the point
I want to travel the world, but so did so many others
Take singing lessons, but my signings annoying.

I want good grades, but somethings holding me back
I want ambition but that's something I lack
I want to have that mindset but it's been offset
Please someone give my dream-chasing back

I should be studying, But the tests are really tough!
and my grades have shown I've failed much before
I want to pick myself up, and brush myself off
I'm more comfortable sitting on than falling to the floor
