I’ll Never Be

This itch hurts

To do things I never can

It vibrates down to my bones

I’ll always be alone but I have more to give 

High hopes and aspirations 

I gave it everything I could

I hope it’s enough 

I’ll never be royalty, President,

A doctor or a father 

I’ll be nothing more than your son

I hope I can still make y’all proud

You don’t know

The struggle inside my mind

Always dealing with this pain

I’m more than this emptiness yet here we are now

Dreaming of more simple things 

But I’m aware of all this 

Isn’t good enough

I’ll never be royalty, President,

A doctor or a father 

I’ll be nothing more than your son

I hope I can still make y’all proud

Trying to be the perfect son is bullshit

You either are or you aren’t

Yet in your parents eyes you’re the best they could manage 

High hopes and aspirations 

I gave it everything I could

I hope it’s enough 

I’ll never be royalty, President,

A doctor or a father 

I’ll be nothing more than your son

I hope I can still make y’all proud
