wow, college sure is a lot harder the second semester

I'll never live up to the person you want me to be
And I can't reach the standard that you've always set out for me
I'm trying my hardest, I'm pushing it day after day
I'm doing my best to come home and have something to say

You support me in everything I do
But everything that I've given is all I can give to you
Will I stand up to the test of time
Or become a disappointment you think of late at night?

I'll never live up to the person you want me to be
And I can't reach the standard that you've always set out for me
I'm trying my hardest, I'm pushing it day after day
I'm doing my best to come home and have something to say

Am I still the person you had envisioned in your head?
It's easy to let go when you can't even get out of bed
There's not much to write home about these days
I just hope you know my head's in the right place
