How Good Do I Have to Be

Woke up with no hope today
Piled underneath bills left to pay
I'm a crossword puzzle blank
I'm a doorbell buzzing
Open up I know you're there
I've seen you in your under-
Where are you
I can't see
You're scaring the hell out of me

I know you're not the one
Who's gonna make me better
I know and it's killing me

So make friends, find a job and
Do something you're proud of
How good do I have to be?
You should always dress to impress
Do much better than your best
How good to I have to be?
You know it makes me feel so useless
How good do I have to be?

Am I breaking myself apart
And taking this all too hard
I think of all the shoes I've worn
Some like a boy some like a whore
My soul is sighing deep
It's been asleep
The winter waiting for the spring
It won't come easily
And it's scaring the hell out of me

I've been so scared to fall
Will it make it better?
I don't know what to do

Just make friends, find a job and
Do something you're proud of
How good do I have to be?
You should always dress to impress
Do much better than your best
How good to I have to be?
You know it makes me feel so tired
I can't even get some sleep
You know it makes me feel so useless
How good do I have to be?

I've been so scared to fall
Will it make it better?
I just don't know what to do
How can you?

Well make friends, find a job and
Do something you're proud of
How good do I have to be?
You should always dress to impress
Do much better than your best
How good to I have to be?
You know it makes me feel so tired
I can't even get some sleep
You know it makes me feel so useless
How good do I have to be?
How good do I have to be?
How good do I have to be?
