You said go for it, I said stop
I'm more than willing to give this up
This is not meant for me
I'm as helpless as a girl can be

You said come, come on, I said wait
It's impossible, it's too late
This is not meant for me
I'm as helpless as a girl can be

I still fear though I know it all by heart, now
It all by heart now...
I still don't dare, though I've learned every part, now
Every part now...

But if I had been stronger
If I had been brave
I could have given what I never gave
If I had been better
If I had been the best
You would be proud of me
Like all the rest
You would be proud of me
Like all the rest

You said try once more, I said well
This won't work, so I have to tell
This is not meant for me
I'm as helpless as a girl can be

I still fear though I know it all by heart, now
It all by heart now...
I still don't dare, though I've learned every part, now
Every part now...

But if I had been stronger
If I had been brave
I could have given what I never gave
If I had been better
If I had been the best
You would be proud of me
Like all the rest...

You could be proud of me
Like all the rest....
