double plus
They say "Grades don't matter"
"It's just a letter"
"It won't affect you in the future"
They say "Stop stressing"
"Just count your blessings"
But it's really not that easy
When you're always going for that double plus
You lose all of your self-trust
And when you're always aiming for number one
You forget how it feels to just have fun
They say "Take a breather"
"You've got perfectionism fever"
"Just slow down, you're working too hard"
But what they don't get
Is I'm not finished yet
'Cause part of me knows I can always do better
When you're always going for that double plus
You lose all of your self-trust
And when you're always aiming for number one
You forget how it feels to just have fun
The voices in my head tell me I'm not enough
But the voices 'round my bed say I'm being too rough
And it's hard to choose who to listen to
Cause as much as it hurts, the anxiety's part of you
When you're always going for that double plus
You lose all of your self-trust
And when you're always aiming for number one
You forget how it feels to just have fun
"It's just a letter"
"It won't affect you in the future"
They say "Stop stressing"
"Just count your blessings"
But it's really not that easy
When you're always going for that double plus
You lose all of your self-trust
And when you're always aiming for number one
You forget how it feels to just have fun
They say "Take a breather"
"You've got perfectionism fever"
"Just slow down, you're working too hard"
But what they don't get
Is I'm not finished yet
'Cause part of me knows I can always do better
When you're always going for that double plus
You lose all of your self-trust
And when you're always aiming for number one
You forget how it feels to just have fun
The voices in my head tell me I'm not enough
But the voices 'round my bed say I'm being too rough
And it's hard to choose who to listen to
Cause as much as it hurts, the anxiety's part of you
When you're always going for that double plus
You lose all of your self-trust
And when you're always aiming for number one
You forget how it feels to just have fun
