Problems/ Canvas

I know

There are problems

I try but I can't look away

I can't bear to be in

I'm getting out

Maybe I'll be acceptable someday

'Til then

I'm trying

But I keep getting in my way

Is keeping quiet enough

When it's so loud?

Can I be what I should

And what I may?

There's never been a way out of it

There's never been a way out of it

That isn't less white than grey

Or black and stained

Or black and stained

They're always watching

I fear though I know that's a lie

If I were to fall

Would they notice at all?

Is this weight that I feel only mine?

I only wanted to be good enough, good enough

To be somebody for everyone, everyone

But if everybody paints a piece, paints a piece

Then what's gonna be left of me, left of me?

I can't be everybody's masterpiece, masterpiece

But I'm trying so damn hard to please, hard to please

I need to ask what do I want from me, want from me

Because it's never really just for me, just for me

There's never been a way out of it

There's never been a way out of it

That isn't less white than grey

Or black and stained

Or black and stained

I only wanted to be good enough, good enough

To be somebody for everyone, everyone

I can't be everybody's masterpiece, masterpiece

But I'm trying so damn hard to please
