The Successful

The Successful
 
Cut off and now consigned to the outside
Where access is denied
He promised me the earth and
It turns out that he lied
 
Fun fact it’s our failures that define us
No matter how we try
Life keeps sending reminders
Now I don’t question why
 
So sad when humanity deserts you
When there could be no truth that ever hurts you
 
I don’t wanna be one of the successful
It’s just not me
Never ever gonna be one of the successful
It’s plain to see
 
Cut off and now consigned to the outside
Where access is denied
She promised me her skirt but
It turns out that she lied
 
Coulda woulda shoulda is how we’re remembered
No matter how we try
A dream that was dismembered
Now I don’t question why
 
Tragic when your empathy just leaves you
When there’s no fatality that bereaves you
I don’t wanna be one of the successful
It’s just not me
Never ever gonna be one of the successful
It’s plain to see
Cut off and now consigned to the outside
Where access is denied
You said I had no worth and
It turns out that you lied
Some dolts are just destined to dislike us
No matter how we try
Right until the truth strikes us
Now I don’t question why
Cold callous, compassion betrayed you
That's what happens when ambition slays you
 
I don’t  wanna be one of the successful
It’s just not me
Never ever gonna be one of the successful
It’s plain to see
 
I don’t wanna be one of the successful
Never ever gonna be one of the successful
I don’t wanna be one of the successful
Never ever gonna be one of the successful
