A long time ago I learned there were certain things I couldn't do
I always thought if someone else could do something then so could I.
I was wrong
I could never swim the English channel because I have a fear of drowning
I could never be as confident as some
I could never ask the nice girl out
I understand I'm shy and lack the confidence that stops me from doing certain things.

I don't like to give up, if I set my sight on something I usually complete it
but there are certain things that make me give up
certain things I can't do
I can't do more than my best, it's impossible but for some it's not enough
I can be the greatest friend to someone but never anything more
I lack the confidence, I lack the necessary skills, abilities, personality to do certain things.

I don't like to give up but there are certain things I just can't do, so giving up might be my only option left no matter how much I wish I don't.
