Zak Stinchcombe - Better Luck Next Time

I'm trying to be all I can be
That's all you can do they tell me
And I'm trying to see all I can see
Tell the wood for the trees
Ambitions for dreams
Blind faith for belief

I'm trying to learn all I can learn
Make sure I deserve a good turn
Trying to grasp all there is to discern
Tell the grass for the fern
Disdain for concern
The bow for the stern

But all the same I still hear this refrain
It hides and it seeks like a voice with no name
Be all that you ought
Retain all that you're taught
Better luck next time boy
You're falling short

I've taken all there's left to take
I've stuck every bet there's to stake
I've made every move there's to make
Told the real for the fake
Bad luck for mistake
The end for the break

It skims and it skirts through my mind
I guess you leave no man behind
Despite all I am
Despite all I mean
To be
One day
I can't fade away
Still here still to stay
Still hear that refrain

But all the same I refuse to complain
Give me all that you've got and give me all it again
I'll be all I ought
Retain all I'm taught
Better luck next time
I'll fight all I'm fought
