Sometimes I feel like I'm summer construction Never useful for anything, just stuck in the way Sometimes I feel like I'm a high school production 'Cause I'm still scared whenever I walk out on the stage 'Cause are they gonna laugh at me? Will my words come out right? Forever will I be lonely? Or just for another night? Mama, don't tell me what I'm wanting to hear Say that I'm fine like all of the time, but I'm still smellin' the fear And I know I won't always know what's bringin' me down Not always confident but I'm confident that I'll figure it out Sometimes I feel like I, I've got it all wrong 'Cause no matter how hard I try, it just doesn't add up Sometimes I'm just a scratcher from the nearest corner gas station Waste of my last dollar because I'm fresh out of luck Swear they're gonna laugh at me Do my words come out right? And even if I get lucky It'll be only tonight Mama, don't tell me what I'm wanting to hear Say that I'm fine like all of the time, but I'm still smellin' the fear And I know I won't always know what's bringin' me down Not always confident but I'm confident that I'll figure it out Not always confident but I'm confident that I'll figure it out
