I'm sitting here, wondering
if anything'll go right today
Maybe I won't screw up
Maybe I won't cry today

I'm really trying hard,
to meet their expectations
But there's always something wrong,
something for them to correct

There's never a "Good job"
or "I know you did your best"
It's always "That's expected of you"
and "You could've done better"

Why can't they understand,
that I can't be perfect?
Why don't they understand,
that I'm not always Number 1?
Why won't they understand,
that sometimes MY best isn't THE best.
