Failure
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.
I never been good at this sort of thing
I never quite got it right
I try and try and try again
And you know I′ll try again tonight
Women may come and women may go
But they never seem to stick around
Nothing I say and nothing I do
Ever seems to work I've found
′Cause I'm a failure
You know I never get it right
Yes I'm a failure
I′m gonna fail you tonight
No matter how far I get ahead
I always seem to fall behind
Been on a winless streak since I was born
Now I even lost my mind
I try and try to fool myself
Time and time again
Believin′ in me is a bad idea
'Cause you know I′m never gonna win
'Cause I′m a failure
You know I never get it right
Yes I'm a failure
I′m gonna fail again tonight
'Cause I'm a failure
You know I never get it right
Yes I′m a failure
I′m gonna fail you tonight
Fallin' down a broken ladder
Places you might go
Turn you into someone special
Someone you should know
Take your time and move in stages
Just living in between
Never mind the closing pages
Lost inside a dream
′Cause I'm a failure
You know I never get it right
Yes I′m a failure
I'm gonna fail again tonight
′Cause I'm a failure
You know I never get it right
Yes I'm a failure
I′m gonna fail you tonight
