Participation Trophy

Maybe my best Wasn't enough But it was fun Wasn't it love In another life I'd win first prize But I'm still thankful For the ride My participation trophy It laughs in my face I ended up good, but I wanna be great Kinda embarrassed Kind of ashamed Thought that the world would remember my name Foolish young girl who wanted fame Should I give up Should I let go Will it be embarrassing when I get old Fallacy of sunken cost Maybe I've already lost My participation trophy It laughs in my face I ended up good, but I wanna be great Tell me the truth, did I do okay Behind my back what does everyone say Did I just waste my life Chasing a dream that will never arrive My participation trophy It laughs in my face I ended up good, but I wanna be great Sorry to everyone who believed Guess I just wasn't meant to succeed Toss in the towel, lay down your arms Try to be happy right where you are
