I mess up, Over And Over Again. I can't fix it. I say the wrong thing, Make them get mad. Then I feel bad. For days And Days On end. Can't get this feeling gone, Can't get it out of my head. I can't do it right, So why do I try? I should just stay in the shadows, mind my business, and then just be there if needed. Do what they say, So I can't mess up. I try to be my best, But it is only the worst. I try to lead, But apparently, Leading is a bad idea. I get yelled at, for being myself, getting told I'm annoying, And I **** It sticks, but I cover, and I hide, don't let them see, Be the girl they want me to be. But I still mess up. I can't be loud, But can't be quiet either. I Can't Be Me. I have to pretend, To Be Someone I'm Not. Change myself for them. Act differently, Be different, While I suppress my old self. Who wants to stay, But, I can't Be Me.

Mess up
I mess up, Over And Over Again. I can't fix it. I say the wrong thing, Make them get mad. Then I feel bad. For days And Days On end. Can't get this feeling gone, Can't get it out of my head.

I try to be my best, But it is only the worst. I try to lead, But apparently, Leading is a bad idea.
