Failing Upwards Lyrics by Deanna Petcoff

To Hell With You, I Love You

2021

[Verse 1]
I have my fate in my hands again
I'm thinking of how I'm a mess to him
Wondering how I'm ever gonna put up with me
I have my heart in my head again
I'm lost as a child can be
'Cause I wander around my neighbourhood
Hoping the answer will appear in front of me
[Verse 2]
I'm a little uptight sometimes
I don't like feeling like a trophy wife
But I'll wait in the car at the end of the night till you arrive
You feel a little misguided 'cause you misread my alliance
And you still think I'm against you in every way
Well, I am today
[Chorus]
I know you're not trying to break my heart
But you're doing a bang up job
And I told you I'm not trying to lose your trust
But at lеast I'm failing upwards
[Verse 3]
I'm all alone at my desk again
Makin' sensе of the mess that I left for him
Thinkin' that I'm the only one who thinks all these things
You feel a little bit tired 'cause you're trying not to call me a liar
And you still think I'm against you in every way
Well, I am today
[Chorus]
And I know you're not trying to break my heart
But you're doing a bang up job
And I told you I'm not trying to lose your trust
But at least I'm failing upwards
At least I'm failing upwards
[Bridge]
And I know that you second-guess all of your love notes
When you see a photo of him in my yearbook
And I know that you struggle to keep all our memories safe
But I never asked him to stay and you bring him back anyway
[Chorus]
And I know
You're not trying to break my heart
But you're doing a bang up job
And I told you I'm not trying to lose your trust
But at least I'm failing upwards
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Failing, failing
Failing upwards
Failing, failing
Failing upwards
