The Pressure and The Time Lyrics

God knows I tried

I gave it my all

Perfectionism at its best

I never fail to fall

I speak so highly of myself

When I know I'm just holding barely

I'm predictable to the maximum

I always thought you'd catch on early

So I'll save you all

The pressure and the time

"I'll forgive you this once"

That seems to be a pattern of mine

I wish I could take it back

God, I miss you so bad

Sometimes the easiest things are so hard to say

I'm sick of sitting on the sidelines

Hate the player, not the game

A room full of eyes and all I can think about

Is when I'll be one of them

So I'll save you all the pressure and the time

If I'm a weight on your shoulders

Let me lift it for you tonight

I pray I'll change one day

Holding on to things you say

I'm a little overbearing sometimes

There will always be a little part of me

That's desperate for your attention

'Cause I am so mediocre

I am nothing special

And that is what hurts the most
