LYRICS!
You’re right
I used to perfect
You’re right
I used to be strong
I’d review on the bus
Popping flashcards like they’re pills
Nothing gave me higher thrills
Than an A-plus
You’re right
I used to work harder
You’re right
I never was wrong
Now I’m nauseous on trains
Doesn’t matter where I sit
Like my shoes no longer fit
It’s growing pains
The kid known for their brains
Don’t you want to be clever
Don’t you want to be bright
Don’t you want to be someone
Use your gift, it’s your birthright
Can’t you see that I’m trying?
Can’t you see that I care?
Where’s the manual?
Your robot’s in need of repair
Today
I never take first place
Today
I don’t qualify
Told myself I’d stand tall
Fighting mirror image me
All the people I could be
In your mind’s eye
Today
It’s always an uphill
Today
I’m driving bone-dry
Tell myself there’s still hope
Gotta stand by what I know
Flowers bloom just after snow
Watch the slurry slope
There must more, I can’t just sit here and mope
Yes, I want to be clever
Yes, I want to be bright
Yes, I want to be someone
Who can sleep through the night
But I’m plagued by my limits
I admit that they’re there
Where’s the manual?
This robot’s in need of repair
What’s it gonna take
What’s there left to break
Used up all my luck
Facing my earthquake
Buildings coming down
I make out the sound
Of my very soul
Crumbling to the ground
I’ll always want to be clever
But I can’t be that girl forever
So I’m paving my own path
It may not be bright
Let it breathe in the sun and
It might glow in the night
Gotta charge the battery
Before you run it dry
The real world’s far from fair
It’s fated to stop and repair

I'm someone who's experienced the whole "gifted burn-out," been told that "You're a very smart girl" while I was in the middle of struggling with mental health, and ultimately giving up on higher acadamia and finally starting to find my place. This song is making me feel so seen. Thank you so much! ❤
Same! Hang in there, it gets better as you work on it!
