There is nothing worse than failing at meeting the expectations of a friend
I guess I turned out diff’rent
than you wanted me to be
guess my eyes have held the saw dust
that you didn’t want to see
guess you’ve gotten out the score sheet
and you’re coming out ahead
guess I’m choking on the words
that I wish I never said.
I guess I am expendable
at least that how it seems
guess it really doesn’t matter
what I hope for in my dreams
guess I’m putting away the outfit
that had an ‘s’ upon its chest
guess I’ll be taking up this class again
cuz I’m failing all your tests
And it really doesn’t matter
if I’d walk through Hell and then come back
or try to find the pieces for everything that we both lack
guess wrestling the angels won’t do me good this time
guess I won’t have to step outside to go looking for a sign
guess I’m one of the better ones
because this hurts like Hell
guess I hope you’ll see the diff’rence
but it’s still too soon to tell
guess I’ll throw my hands up
I don’t want to walk away
guess I’m going to be silent
cuz there’s nothing left to say
I guess I turned out diff’rent
than you wanted me to be
guess my eyes have held the saw dust
that you didn’t want to see
guess you’ve gotten out the score sheet
and you’re coming out ahead
guess I’m choking on the words
that I wish I never said.
