Fail Lyrics by Bow Anderson

2024

[Verse 1]
Since childhood I've been told, study hard, achieve your goals
Sit up straight, stand in line, eat your veggies, stay inside
Don't watch too much TV
Don't dream of bigger things
Don't disappoint, 'cause there's no point
In tryna spread my wings

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm afraid of flying, dying, ghosts and lying, so many things

[Chorus]
If I'm honest I'm paralyzed
Being afraid for my whole damn life
And it's passing me by, it's passing me by
Oh, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, no

[Verse 2]
They said if I moved out
Then bravery moves in
I thought that our new chapter would be good for me but then
I'm only singing in the shower where nobody can hear
'Cause God forbid they say I'm bad, I'm living my worst fear

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm afraid of heights and nights I sleep alone
But more than anything

[Chorus]
If I'm honest I'm paralyzed
Being afraid for my whole damn life
And it's passing me by, it's passing me by
Oh, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, no
I know nothing is black and white
But the colors keep me up all night
And I can't reach high, 'cause I'm terrified
Oh, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, no
Oh, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail
I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, no

[Bridge]
I'm so sick and I'm tired
Feeling so uninspired
I'm so sick and I'm tired
If I don't live then I'm dying

[Chorus]
If I'm honest I'm paralyzed
Being afraid for my whole damn life
And it's passing me by, it's passing me by
Oh, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, no
I know nothing is black and white
But the colors keep me up all night
And I can't reach high, 'cause I'm terrified
Oh, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna fail, no
