Lyrics
they say I’m good at something
I must be, what comes to mind is nothing
I try so hard, I work so hard
but what’s always up is my guard
I keep my spirits up,
something will come along
I’ll finish this chapter strong
the Fool never stops working
the Fool is always smirking
Cuz she’s got it all under control
Petals grow in her soul
along with thorns that grip at her
but she knows this battle’s over
they call me promising like that pays,
like praise is currency for days
like potential is enough in this world
so you see me here, unfurled
I get paid in state and prayer
which is great but it’s much simpler
then the reality I face, troubled
they don’t know how much I’ve struggled
but I laugh, I make friends
I keep my spirits up, I keep my head afloat
but hope is not a paycheck, it’s a tightrope
I’m “so inspiring”, yeah, I’ve heard it, getting old
don’t call me “promising”, just pay me what I’m owed
I keep it light, I keep it sweet, I don’t ask to be saved
I turn my worry into punchlines, act like I’m brave
I’m the “strong one” on the surface, “good” is my role
but I’m tired of being clapped for while I’m losing control
I keep my spirits up, I keep my head afloat
but hope is not a paycheck, it’s a tightrope
I’m “so inspiring”, yeah, I’ve heard it, getting old
don’t call me “promising”, just pay me what I’m owed
I’m not a lesson, not a headline, not a “look how she survives”
if I’m so full of promise, why’s it costing me my life?
the Fool stops smirking, just a second, lets it show
I don’t need your admiration, I need somewhere I can grow
I keep my spirits up, I keep my head afloat
but hope is not a paycheck, it’s a tightrope
I’m “so inspiring”, yeah, I’ve heard it, getting old
don’t call me “promising”, just pay me what I’m owed
