Broken promises, forgotten dreams
you're never good enough it seems
you must stay in control
must be perfect to win
no matter what it takes-
you must be thin
always do your best
but still you must do more
cause your best will never get you
the very highest score
you're only in it for fun
so what's going on?
it's frustration and torture
the fun is long gone
my goals are getting further and further out of sight
it's not supposed to be this way
this just isn't right
hang in there- push harder-
you've got to be strong
drugs will ease the pain
and you'll slowly move along
but slows not good enough
everything must be fast
if you keep it up at this rate
you'll come in dead last
point your toes, and stay tight
legs together- that's not right!!
if you really want to do it,
then just go- you have to prove it!
no more! i can't take it
i'm too stressed to even try
if i do it i'll fall down
i don't know how to fly
you know that i trust you
you shouldn't need to ask
there's just some things better left unsaid
that i hide behind a mask
often it doesn't work
and you can see right through
but this time i can't tell
i don't know what to do
abandoned promises, and shattered dreams
a gymnast must be perfect to have any self-esteem
