Lyrics

Too old to be a prodigy
Too young to make it big
My mama said she was so proud of me
I had the world at my fingertips
Too short to be a basketball star
Too tall to do gymnastics
But when I sat down at the living room piano
They all believed I was talented
Teacher said I could be good if I tried a little
But I cry a little when I blink
My parents swear that I would shine if cared a little
But I care too much what people think
I care too much what people think
Wasted, wasted potential
I can't take it
I can't face the existential
Doubt my future every night
Fear has got me paralyzed
Left with just another silver medal
And all my wasted potential
Too smart to work at Applebees
Too dumb to be the boss
I have a list of things I've tried and given up on
Another list of things I'm not
I'd like to say I'll tour the world little by little
See my name in shining lights
But I'm afraid of the unpredictable
So I never step outside
I never step outside
Wasted, wasted potential
I can't take it
I can't face the existential
Doubt my future every night
Fear has got me paralyzed
Left with just another silver medal
And all my wasted potential
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
I'm still worth believing in
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
I never learned to lose
And I still have yet to win
Wasted, wasted potential
I can't take it
I can't face the existential
Doubt my future every night
Fear has got me paralyzed
Left with just another silver medal
And all my wasted potential
