Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't get what I want, I'm a failure

Nothing seems to work out quite the way I planned

And I can't express the way I feel, the way I feel

Without fucking up something else

[Chorus]

I'm a failure

[Verse 2]

I can't get what I want, I'm a failure

Nothing seems to work out quite the way I planned

And I can't express the way I feel, the way I feel

Without fucking up something else

[Chorus]

I'm a failure, failure

Failure, failure

[Bridge]

Nothing seems to work out right

Nothing seems to work out right

Nothing seems to work out right

Nothing I do ever seems to work out right

And I feel it building, failure

[Verse 3]

I can't get what I want, I'm a failure

Nothing seems to work out quite the way I planned

And I can't express the way I feel, the way I feel

Without fucking up something else

[Outro]

I'm a failure
