What You Get
You made it this far
Even though no one noticed it's just the same old you
It shouldn't be this hard
To believe in yourself when you know you've got them fooled
So here we go
Put on a show
Nothing to hold you back or hold you at all
It's a shame
But it's not gonna change
What you see is what you get
My mistakes haven't turned into wisdom yet
Taking the stage while the stage is set
And I'm not gonna drop the illusion
Well it's true
And neither would you
You totally misfired
You've been faking so long you forgot it wasn't true
You shouldn't get this tired
Never think that you will
Even though you always do
This is the game
It's always the same
Nothing to keep you up
Or keep you from falling through
Sometimes I hope that I do
What you see is what you get
My mistakes haven't turned into wisdom yet
Taking the stage while the stage is set
And I'm not gonna drop the illusion
Well it's true
And neither would you
Colorblind, dyslexic
Scatter brained and misdirected
Read so slow I got demoted
Strong comprehension duly noted though
I knew the answers but I couldn't prove 'em
Before the deadlines but they wouldn't move 'em
They tried to give me Ritalin
So what if I'm a little insecure right now
'Cause when I get older
This chip's not gonna be on my shoulder
Its gonna be on my mind
And you'll still find me working harder than everyone else
'Til the last one left I have to convince is myself
Even though no one noticed it's just the same old you
It shouldn't be this hard
To believe in yourself when you know you've got them fooled
So here we go
Put on a show
Nothing to hold you back or hold you at all
It's a shame
But it's not gonna change
What you see is what you get
My mistakes haven't turned into wisdom yet
Taking the stage while the stage is set
And I'm not gonna drop the illusion
Well it's true
And neither would you
You totally misfired
You've been faking so long you forgot it wasn't true
You shouldn't get this tired
Never think that you will
Even though you always do
This is the game
It's always the same
Nothing to keep you up
Or keep you from falling through
Sometimes I hope that I do
What you see is what you get
My mistakes haven't turned into wisdom yet
Taking the stage while the stage is set
And I'm not gonna drop the illusion
Well it's true
And neither would you
Colorblind, dyslexic
Scatter brained and misdirected
Read so slow I got demoted
Strong comprehension duly noted though
I knew the answers but I couldn't prove 'em
Before the deadlines but they wouldn't move 'em
They tried to give me Ritalin
So what if I'm a little insecure right now
'Cause when I get older
This chip's not gonna be on my shoulder
Its gonna be on my mind
And you'll still find me working harder than everyone else
'Til the last one left I have to convince is myself
