What If I fall short of what I'm meant to be?
What if the world this time's catching up with me?
I tore my portrait down off the mantlepiece
Oh when I saw what I lost right in front of me
Just woke up and five years
Had disappeared out of reach
It's a blurry mess and I'm the
Passenger in my front seat
When there's someone that you could've been
But you let go of the wheel again
And I looked in the rear view now I'm struggling
With some strangers eyes on me
What If I fall short of what I'm meant to be?
What if the world this time's catching up on me?
I tore my portrait down off the mantlepiece
Oh when I saw what I lost right in front of me
So what if I fall short?
If I fall short?
So if I fall short of what I'm meant to be
Don't replace the space I leave
Spent all your money, wrecked a head start
What your dad sees in you, you only see half
But your mother still loves you with the same heart
Wearing rose coloured glasses
There's someone that I could've of been
But I'm asleep at the wheel again
And I know I made a promise
But if I'm being honest
I'll fall short of what I'm meant to be
What if the world this time's catching up on me?
I tore my portrait down off the mantlepiece
Oh when I saw what I lost right in front of me
So what if I fall short?
If I fall short?
So if I fall short of what I'm meant to be
Don't replace the space I leave
[I know what I had, we know what we had,
I know that's it's gone]
I keep falling, I keep falling short
Cause there's someone that I could've been
But I've gone and messed it up again
Yeah I know what I had, and why you're gone
Cause I fell short of what I'm meant to be
I guess the world this time it caught up with me
I put my portrait back on the mantlepiece
Time to face that man staring back at me
What If I fall short of what I'm meant to be?
What if the world this time's catching up on me?
I tore my portrait down off the mantlepiece
Oh when I saw what I lost right in front of me
So what if I fall short?
If I fall short?
So if I fall short of what I'm meant to be
If I fall short
