I failed now I'm free

Look at me

Don’t look at me

It sometimes hurts to sing

Who am I

Who am I trying to be

Are those the same thing

This mask’s so tight I can’t breathe

I’m scared of what’s beneath

My voice cracked on the high note

My finger missed that string

I forgot the second verse

Cause I had too much to drink

Who said everything I touch

Should be a masterpiece

I failed

I failed

And now I’m free

When I moved

To this crowded city

Didn’t leave my room for weeks

I thought that I

Would be somehow safer

If I just didn’t speak

I made a prison of the stage

And so I hid out on the page

My voice cracked on the high note

My finger missed that string

I forgot the second verse

Cause I had too much to drink

Who said everything I touch

Should be a masterpiece

I failed

I failed

And now I’m free

Cracked leather boots and uncombed hair

Moth-eaten sweater and a crooked stare

Busted guitar always outta tune

Nobody’s business if I sleep until noon

I’ve a bundle of mistakes that I carry round

I think I’m ready to put them down

I breathe it in I let it all out

Now I got something to sing about

On the other side of my worst fear

The world just ended but I’m still here
