You Don't Have The Room

(albüm: Queens Of The Summer Hotel - 2021)

You don't have the room to make mistakes
A trip, a slip, a fall is all it takes
So you're a quiet smile, a pretty face
That never argues, just in case you're wrong
Lord, the songs you have to sing to them
When you don't mean a thing to them

You don't have the skin to bend the rules
The world will gladly suffer whiter fools
And when they screw it up, they justify
A second chance so they can try again
Running up a tab they'll never see
Becoming what you'll never be

You parents said of course they always knew
They must be fools to ever count on you
But you don't have the room you don't have the room

You don't have the means to make a mark
Planting all your seeds but in the dark
And though you're twice as fast, you carry more
So everything you're running for, you lose
Credit goes to them instead of you
Cause they start out ahead of you

I'm sure a stronger girl could rise above
The twin desires of dignity and love
But you don't have the room
You don't have the room
