The Glass Child - Letdown lyrics

What if I change the things I say

So it sounds better in your ears

I can tell you exactly

What you want to hear

What if I change the way I dress

So it looks better from your view

I can pout my lips to fame

And be pretty instead of true

I’ve been trying to stay real

And true and proud who I am

All those ideals of how to look

I’ve been trying not to care

But I’m still holding my breath

I’m still watching every step

I’m still tip-toeing away

When I’m getting to ashamed of myself

I don’t want to be your let down

I’m scared like hell I’m not enough

I don’t to be your failure anymore

I don’t want to be your let down

I’m screaming loud without a sound

Have to find a way to

Be the best of me

Failure scares the hell out of me

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/the+glass+child/letdown_21050225.html ]

And the music that they’re liking

Says nothing about the way

That I am disappearing

So I’ll keep it to myself

Though I’m mostly quiet

I’ve got a lot to say

But nothing seems to please you

So I’ll keep it to myself

I don’t want to be your let down

I’m scared like hell I’m not enough

I don’t to be your failure anymore

I don’t want to be your let down

I’m screaming loud without a sound

Have to find a way to

Be the best of me

Failure scares the hell out of me

If I’m not good enough for you

Am I not good enough for you?

Your expectations I can’t live up to, no

I just want to be someone

To mean something to anyone

I’ve got to hurry up to be someone

I am fading can you wake me up

So I can be, all those things that I’ve been dreaming of

I’m the fall, this is the cutting of my wings

Oh you’re killing my belief

To be myself

And if I can’t make my own way I quit
