Falling short again
Need to grow another inch
Too fat to wear these jeans
I need to drop some weight and cinch
myself into a smaller size
so that I could effectively hide
Away from all my teachers
Who always give me B's,
not A's
I dare you to be me for just one day!
Never the one who get's asked out
And i'm pretty sure i'm just about
the only senior didn't get in
to the college of their choice
I missed admissions by just 1 day
But i'm used to it by now
Because things never ever go my way
Not then, Not ever, No no how
I'm always close but never enough
One step forward, two steps back
Tell me,
what the fuck is up with that?
