lyrics

When I feel the pressure on my skin
Instinct makes me jerk my hand away
Every time I feel it holding still
I know what the pain is trying to say

And I don't care
cause this is what I've earned
and I'm aware
what you want me to learn

If at first you don't succeed
then try and try again
if at first you don't succeed
then try and try and try until you

Nobody can ever make the claim
that I wasn't fully in the game
if I wasn't really serious
why the hell would I be doing this?!

Yes, I'm aware
this isn't necessary
I don't care
That's why I have to do it

If at first you don't succeed
then try and try again
if at first you don't succeed
then try and try and try until you

I let the perfect be enemy of the good
This I won't settle for anymore understood

Try to stay unsatisfied and tough
so I won't have anything to prove
no of course it isn't good enough
good enough is never good enough

Not good enough!
Not good enough!

If at first you don't succeed
then try and try again
if at first you don't succeed
then try and try and try and try and try

If at first you don't succeed
then try and try again
if at first you don't succeed
then try and try and try until you BLEED!
