It’s not like I’m a bad student
Sorry this isn't a rebel story
Its nothing even exciting
I'm just failing
Failure
shouldn’t even be an option
Well i wonder
why its seem to become my lifestyle
Im better than that

Im an athlete,
Striving to be the best
So why am I hiding the sunshine?
I’m better than that...

I’m not even the same girl
No good grades
and other things
Maybe it’s anxiety,
I just dont know.
Just kind of hiding who I am
because hell,
I can't find myself
I thought I was better than that.

You’re probably better
than what you think of yourself
Underestimation...
Stop exaggerating.
