Replaceable
Yeah
I was the smartest in the room, I was full of ambition
I was gonna be the world's best middle school musician
I had so many thoughts that rang in so many hearts
It's no wonder I was always told I'd make it in the arts
But then others surpassed me through work and repetition
And a girl with everything became a man without a mission
How could I survive with others' greatness in my face
After all, why bother trying just to get to second place
Never gonna get off my ass
Never gonna get my songs out
And damn, I get so tired
Finding something to sing about
When I'm replaceable, baby
And I'll never mean anything to anyone
You know it, I'm replaceable, baby
Haven't even started and my job is done
Child prodigy, who
Genius, who
Who are you talking to
My time is passed
And I have nothing left to give to you
Replaceable, baby
And I'll never mean anything to anyone
I used to think I'd instantly be anything I wanted
Never put in any effort, and I lived my life undaunted
Now I like to spend my spare time overthinking all my fear
Maybe I should give this up and be an engineer
After all, I'll never top the charts, I'll never make it global
And I still rely on drum tracks written by GarageBand mobile
With everything I write, I feed the thing that will replace me
Might as well drop out now and let history erase me
Never gonna get off my ass
Never gonna sing to the world
And damn, I get so tired
Trying to keep my wings unfurled
When I'm replaceable, baby
And I'll never mean anything to anyone
You know it, I'm replaceable, baby
Haven't even started and my job is done
Child prodigy, who
Genius, who
Who are you talking to
My time is passed
And I have nothing left to give to you
Replaceable, baby
And I'll never mean anything to anyone
You know it, I'm dispensable, baby
I've been blinded by the light in my starry eyes
You know it, I'm dispensable, baby
I'd rather choose to fall than fail to rise
These are my most repetitive chords
Basic notes
Most simple melody
And you bet your ass that it's your favorite song you've ever heard from me
Dispensable, baby
I was the smartest in the room, I was full of ambition
I was gonna be the world's best middle school musician
I had so many thoughts that rang in so many hearts
It's no wonder I was always told I'd make it in the arts
But then others surpassed me through work and repetition
And a girl with everything became a man without a mission
How could I survive with others' greatness in my face
After all, why bother trying just to get to second place
Never gonna get off my ass
Never gonna get my songs out
And damn, I get so tired
Finding something to sing about
When I'm replaceable, baby
And I'll never mean anything to anyone
You know it, I'm replaceable, baby
Haven't even started and my job is done
Child prodigy, who
