The Price Is Wrong

The tough get going when the going gets tough

I thought I could take it, I guess I misjudged

Trying to look up has let me down way too much

Keep on reaching for things I never get to touch

I used to think I’d be a champion

All I do is fail time and time again

I used to think I’d be a champion

But now I prepare for the worst come

There’s always something

I can’t have nothing so

Oh

I’ll wait, I’ll wait

Till the price is wrong

'Cause I hate the way nice things make me uncomfortable

At least last place will keep me safe from the unknown

The winner has more to come

And the loser gets left alone

A story once upon a time

I gave the optimist a try

She took the lead, She’s so naive

Accept defeat so gracefully

But I grew tired of trying to be

The bigger person

I gave up on even trying to see things from the bright side

Never good when I decide to keep my expectations high

Scared in fact I’m mortified. Don’t know what at the finish line

But I’ll keep on guessing. I’m still a contestant.

Won’t walk away without a prize

If I don’t expect it I won’t get upset when

The odds don’t turn out me way

Don’t trust fate alone with a chair and a rope

Cause my luck loves to leave me hanging

The wheel starts to spin I try not to give in

To the thought that I might succeed

My priorities straight

I know why I came

Excitement is merely distracting me

Oh

I’ll wait, I’ll wait

Till the price is wrong

Cuz I hate the way nice things make me uncomfortable

At least last place will keep me safe from the unknown

The winner has more to come

The loser gets left alone

I don’t want to be wrong

But fear and doubt they hold me down like chains

Defense Mechanism

A shield to hide til I feel bold again

For my own protection

Ideal that I stay out of range

Somethings coming, I’ll be running

Straight to Self Destruction

Oh

I’ll wait, I’ll wait

Till the price is wrong

Cuz I hate the way nice things make me uncomfortable

At least last place will keep me safe from the unknown

The winner has more to come

The loser gets left alone
