Lola May - I Could Be Better

Everything feels like it's in slow motion
Watching it play out on the big screen
It's my life but I'm not in control of it
Other people making decisions for me
Tell me
Who I'm supposed to be
What I'm supposed to do
Go get a degree
This is on you
How hard can it be
I only do it once
I have to do this right
Life is constantly
Expecting me to be
That girl who's got all her shit together
If I make a mistake
Think I'll be a disgrace
Even when I'm great
I could be better
I could be better I could be better I could be better I could be better
People tell me it always takes time
No one has it figured out at all
Chopping and changing is just life's journey
You'll find yours only when the time is right
Tell me
Who I'm supposed to be
What I'm supposed to do
What does it all mean
I'm getting so confused
You don't need to stress
You're only twenty-one
You're a failure if you're not someone
Life is constantly
Expecting me to be
That girl who's got all her shit together
If I make a mistake
Think I'll be a disgrace
Even when I'm great
I could be better
Am I heading in the right direction?
Was there a wrong one I could take?
Thought everything was a lesson to learn
Was that all fake?
I can't reach my own standards
Perfection's up too high
I fall apart right before your eyes but I
Won't even cry
Life is constantly
Expecting me to be
That girl who's got all her shit together
If I make a mistake
Think I'll be a disgrace
Even when I'm great
I could be better
I could be better I could be better I could be better I could be better
Why's this shit so hard?
