Wouldn’t it be Great


I just don’t think that I’m that strong
But wouldn’t it be great if I were wrong?
I’m just a flower hanging on the wall
Looking for a glass of alcohol
So put a bookmark in, take two aspirin
And pick me up again tomorrow

I just don’t think that I belong
But wouldn’t it be great if I were wrong?
When you’re long on nouns and short on verbs
You lose your feet with every word
I can’t shake the doubt
Or find a word to shout
I can see that I am breathing in
But my thoughts are paralyzed

Please don’t throw doubt on me

If you’re giving me room to breathe
Then give me room here to breathe


I just don’t think that I’m that bold
But wouldn’t it be great if I were cold
You build me statues out of snow
When I reach my lowest low
Then you let the sunshine in
To see if I can swim
You know I’m afraid of the water
And I you think I won’t let go

Please don’t throw doubt on me
