lyrics

I call it the gnawing
When my stomach tells me that it’s missing something
But it’s never full
I’m feeling the wanting
While the faces on the podium are smiling
With their gold medals

I knew what I wanted
Just to prove that I could be the best at something
But it’s not enough
'Cause I never loved it
Like I love playing three chords in someone’s basement
How it lifts me up

It hurts too much to be up at night
Over what is and is not mine
They can keep their accolades keep their fame
Other people’s riches aren’t mine to claim

I thought I’d be a failure if I didn’t reach the top
Hated every minute but believed I couldn’t stop
Every miserable competitor needs someone to tell them
There’s something else, there’s always something else

It hurts too much to be up at night
Over what is and is not mine
They can keep their accolades keep their fame
Other people’s riches aren’t mine to claim
