The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes I feel like I’m summer construction
Never useful for anything, just stuck in the way
Sometimes I feel like I’m a high school production
Cause I’m still scared whenever I walk out on the stage
Are they gonna laugh at me?
Will my words come out right?
Forever will I be lonely?
Or just for another night?
Momma don’t tell me what I’m wanting to hear
You say that I’m fine like all of the time
But I’m still smelling the fear
And I know I won’t always know what’s bring me down
I’m not always confident, but I’m confident that I’ll figure it out
Sometimes I feel like I’ve got it all wrong
Cause no matter how hard I try it just doesn’t add up
Sometime I’m just a scratcher from the nearest corner gas station
A waste of my last dollar because I’m fresh out of luck
I swear they’re gonna laugh at me
Do my words come out right?
And even if I get luck
It’ll be only tonight
Momma don’t tell me what I’m wanting to hear
You say that I’m fine like all of the time
But I’m still smelling the fear
And I know I won’t always know what’s bring me down
I’m not always confident, but I’m confident that I’ll figure it out
