A test comes up and I don't study
embrace the outcome could be bloody
There is a method in my bailing
Succesful at gracefully failing
Hanging my head became a habit
I ask for mercy and I get it
Defeatful I just throw the towel in
and I start succesfully excusing
My lack of attempting
I'm slowly adapting
To them understanding
That I can't always win
It takes less effort and has no risk
nobody preaches me or gets pissed
I simply say that I was nervous
pretend it's unfortunate curses
But truth is I don't even try now
I got away with failing too well
When they say "someday" I feel great
it means my failure didn't scare away
My lack of attempting
needs to start ending
I need to stop bailing
stop gracefully failing
