Falling Short
Struggling with Self-Expression: "Falling Short" by The Playbook
Lyrics
Sorry for acting out
Expressing regret for previous behavior.
Before now I never could speak up
Historical difficulty in expressing oneself.
Don’t ever call me out
Requesting not to be confronted or criticized.
I feel invisible
Feeling unnoticed or ignored.
I’m fumbling my own words
Struggling to articulate thoughts.
Pretending, screaming in my head
Faking emotions, internal turmoil.
Just leave me here instead
Desire to be left alone.
Just leave me here instead
Reiteration of the desire to be left alone.
And I, I’m not cut out for this
Feeling inadequate for the situation.
Sometimes I can’t get a grip
Struggling to maintain control.
I’m not alright
Acknowledging emotional distress.
And why is it so hard to find?
Questioning the difficulty of finding a solution.
I fell short again this time
Admitting failure or falling short.
I'm not alright
Reiteration of emotional struggle.
Don’t mean to brush you off
Apologizing for potential dismissal.
Cornered, like there was no way out
Feeling trapped with no apparent solution.
And if I opened up, what would I mean to you?
Concerns about opening up emotionally.
Would you still consider me to
Questioning if openness affects relationships.
Be one of your friends who
Desiring a deeper connection with friends.
You could open up to?
Uncertainty about being a confidant.
Or would you just leave me here instead
Repetition of the desire to be left alone.
And I, I’m not cut out for this
Reiterating feelings of inadequacy.
Sometimes I can’t get a grip
Struggling to maintain control, repeated.
I’m not alright
Emphasizing emotional distress, repeated.
And why is it so hard to find?
Questioning the difficulty of finding a solution, repeated.
I fell short again this time
Admitting failure or falling short, repeated.
I'm not alright
Reiteration of emotional struggle, repeated.
And I, I’m not cut out for this
Reiterating feelings of inadequacy, repeated.
Sometimes I can’t get a grip
Struggling to maintain control, repeated.
I’m not alright
Emphasizing emotional distress, repeated.
And why is it so hard to find?
Questioning the difficulty of finding a solution, repeated.
I fell short again this time
Admitting failure or falling short, repeated.
I'm not alright
Reiteration of emotional struggle, repeated.
