Some people are born rich
They can afford to make mistakes
And they live with that privilege
Of knowing they have what it takes
What's it like to live in a world preprogrammed for you to succeed?
You'll never know what it's like to be on the edge of your seat
All the time. I'm too familiar with the squiggly red lines
But yours are softer, less red than mine
'Cause I'm so tired of sitting in the corner of the class
And I'm so tired of being too afraid to ask for help
When I'm falling behind, I pretend that I'm fine
Oh I'm so tired of thinking like this all the time

Life isn't perfect
And no one likes a mess
So I did what I knew best
Everything but STEM
What's it like to live in a world preprogrammed for you to succeed?
You'll never know what it's like to be on the edge of your seat
All the time. I'm too familiar with the squiggly red lines
But yours are softer, less red than mine
'Cause I'm so tired of sitting in the corner of the class
And I'm so tired of being too afraid to ask for help
When I'm falling behind, I pretend that I'm fine
Oh I'm so tired of thinking like this all the time
Oh I'm so tired of thinking like this all the time
'Cause I'm so tired of being told that I can never want more
And I'm so tired of always fighting this mental war
When the cards are stacked against you, what can you really do?
When you're the only girl in class
Are you tired too?
Are you tired too?
Are you tired too?
Are you tired too?
(No like seriously I'm so tired from this)
And I'm so tired of sitting in the corner of the class
And I'm so tired of being too afraid to ask for help
When I'm falling behind, I pretend that I'm fine
Oh I'm so tired of thinking like this all the time
