All day long you people stare at me like you do want to tell me I am a failure
All day long you people push past me it’s clear to me you think that I am a failure, I am a failure
Even at the bar the barman tries to ignore me he knows that I am a failure
Stop reminding me of this now I know yeah I know I know that I am a failure, I am a failure
Forgive me please
I have disturbed your peace
They told me just before
They don’t need my skills no more
Worked my ass off all those years
Won’t mind to change careers
For knowledge I do yearn
They say I’m too old to learn
Baby baby hold me now or do you want me to think you think I am a failure
Don’t you walk away from me now hey I said don’t walk away oh I am a failure, I am a failure
All day long you look at me like there is something wrong with me yes I am a failure
Stop reminding me of this now I know yeah I know I know that I am a failure, I am a failure
Forgive me please
I have disturbed your peace
They told me just before
They don’t need my skills no more
Worked my ass off all those years
Won’t mind to change careers
For knowledge I do yearn
They say I’m too old to learn
What am I going to do?
What do I want to be?
Where do I need to start?
Which steps I have to take?
How do I set my goals?
What am I doing wrong?
Where do I find the strength?
What am I afraid of?
What do I want from life?
What am I really good at?
What do I really want?
How do I really feel?
What do YOU want me to be?
What do YOU want me to be?
Just ... don’t say I’m too old to learn
