Never gonna be enough
by xaverriIt's never gonna be enough,
I do my best, they just laugh
They're always on my back
No matter what, I always lack
Perfection
They say I'm smart, they say I'm bright
Then I fail and they start a huge fight
Can't ever let it go if I get it wrong,
They want me perfect, want me just right
This is my life, I'll do what I like
Come the day that I've had it all
My bag'll go flying, out the door
And me out the window of the seventh floor.
