lyrics

I always knew that I was going to be a disappointment to you
You knew it too because I never had a chance to prove it to you
Every intention, real or imagined, mattered too much
In your eyes there’s nothing that didn’t turn backwards
under my touch

I’m trying way too hard
and it’ll never be enough

I’m sorry, you’re better off
without me here to pull you down
Any excuse will do
Someday, when I am gone,
you’ll think “my god, what have I done?”
Any excuse will do

Just disconnect from the ideal that you always wanted for me
The expectations were so high that I could never
summit that peak
I couldn’t bear to see that disillusioned stare again
I couldn’t avoid it. You made it so clear with every refrain

I’m trying way too hard
and it’ll never be enough

I’m sorry, you’re better off
without me here to pull you down
Any excuse will do
Someday, when I am gone,
you’ll think “my god, what have I done?”
Any excuse will do

I can’t convince or change your mind
For all the countless times I tried
I’ll always be the man that I will be
And through the years you thought I’d grown
I’m still the boy you’ve always known
All your useless aspirations dashed
We’ll never know
