Mediocre Man

Learned these 4 chords on my bedroom floor
Age 13 at the guitar store
Thought I could be famous so I memorized my favorites
From Dashboard to Boston even a Britney remix
Joined a couple bands, played a couple hundred shows
Earned a couple fans, let a couple albums flow
Nothing ever came of it besides losing all of my friends
Who sold my gear for drugs - that's the last I ever heard of them

I'm a mediocre man
I'm a mediocre man

Found myself a girl, thought she was the one
Until the day she wasn't
Found myself another one
Girl number two, she's the gal for me
Till it didn't work out now I'm on girl number 3
Not a lover not a fighter
Not anything at all
Just a guy waiting to die
Counting money till it falls
At least I'm good at Twitter
More followers for me
When I'm in your city
Please I don't wanna meet

All you people watching think you know me
Think I'm free of baggage that you don't see
I am a child, I'm ignorant of wisdom
Will I ever be enough

I'm a mediocre man (I am not enough I am not enough)
I'm a mediocre man (I'll never give up no I won't give up)
I'm a mediocre man
I'm a mediocre man

Started building companies
Working 80 hour weeks
I need twice the time
To achieve the same amount of things
All my other peers
They're "crushing it" you know
Last year they invited me on a trip to Cabo

Lounging at the pool, knew my life was just a joke
Don't deserve the accolades, don't deserve to know
Why you gave me all the gifts
That I just keep on squandering
In Jesus name I pray one day
I'll figure out my purpose

Till then I'm a mediocre man
I'm a mediocre man
I'm a mediocre man
I'm a mediocre man
But try, try, try, try again
I will and I can
