Replaceable

Yeah I was the smartest in the room, I was full of ambition I was gonna be the world's best middle school musician I had so many thoughts that rang in so many hearts It's no wonder I was always told I'd make it in the arts But then others surpassed me through work and repetition And a girl with everything became a man without a mission How could I survive with others' greatness in my face After all, why bother trying just to get to second place Never gonna get off my ass Never gonna get my songs out And damn, I get so tired Finding something to sing about When I'm replaceable, baby And I'll never mean anything to anyone You know it, I'm replaceable, baby Haven't even started and my job is done Child prodigy, who Genius, who Who are you talking to My time is passed And I have nothing left to give to you Replaceable, baby And I'll never mean anything to anyone I used to think I'd instantly be anything I wanted Never put in any effort, and I lived my life undaunted Now I like to spend my spare time overthinking all my fear Maybe I should give this up and be an engineer After all, I'll never top the charts, I'll never make it global And I still rely on drum tracks written by GarageBand mobile With everything I write, I feed the thing that will replace me Might as well drop out now and let history erase me Never gonna get off my ass Never gonna sing to the world And damn, I get so tired Trying to keep my wings unfurled When I'm replaceable, baby And I'll never mean anything to anyone You know it, I'm replaceable, baby Haven't even started and my job is done Child prodigy, who Genius, who Who are you talking to My time is passed And I have nothing left to give to you Replaceable, baby And I'll never mean anything to anyone You know it, I'm dispensable, baby I've been blinded by the light in my starry eyes You know it, I'm dispensable, baby I'd rather choose to fall than fail to rise These are my most repetitive chords Basic notes Most simple melody And you bet your ass that it's your favorite song you've ever heard from me Dispensable, baby
