Leave a like and a comment! <3<3<3
///////////////////////////////////////
This track is for the valentines competition and is about a different kind of heartbreak. The heartbreak of feeling like you aren't good enough for the one you love and knowing you're probably right...
///////////////////////////////////////
Tried to create some more complicated rap-sections and deliver the emotion I always try to deliver. If you enjoy it,
Leave a like and a comment! <3<3<3

[sample][spoken]
There's enough pain in this world,
(this world, this world, this world, this world, this world)
[verse]
And I knew, yeah, I knew I wasn't right
I've been fighting these demons all my life.
I'm so gifted at pretending I'm alright.
And that is how I got you to be my wife
[chorus]
Clap your hands for the tired
Clap your hands for the slow
Clap your hands for the awkward
You always try to lift me up, you know
Clap your hands for the showman
Who's so good at dissapointin
Stop wasting time,
Please stop being mine.
(stop being mine)
(mine)
You and I both know that you should go because I won't grow, will dissapoint yo,
my heart might be in the right place, but it's tapping in the wrong phase,
need to be slapped, don't need mo praise, you're too good for me charity case.
Why you still here, when you should go, i am too weak,I'll neva let you, though. won't get upset, no, you just help me mo, go
(go, go, go, go)
You need to run honey, book a get away...
staying will only hurt, honey, get away from me...
This ain't gonna work, you know I'm a jerk.
notorious flirt, with his hand up your shirt.
I'm not a nice guy, i'm a streetwise guy, i'm an always looking for a better price guy, I'm a sell your momma for a pair of naike's guy, i'm a giving all your girlfriends icky kinda yikes guy. I'm a sure to ruin your entire life guy. I'm a break if you ever set me right guy. I'm a wake up screamin middle of the night guy! I'm a why are you still SO FREAKING NICE GUY! (ruin your life guy)

[full music]
And I knew, yeah, I knew I wasn't right
I've been fighting these demons all my life.
I'm so gifted at pretending I'm alright.
And that is how I got you to be my wife
Clap your hands for the tired
Clap your hands for the slow
Clap your hands for the awkward
You always try to lift me up, you know
Clap your hands for the showman
Who's so good at dissapointin
Stop wasting time,
Please stop being mine.
