burned out gifted kid complex

i've got the blues

but you make wanna dance to it

swaying in my room

i flared up bright

then burned up like a cigarette 

they took too many drags from me 

and now i'm sad 

i tried so hard 

to give them what they want from me 

i'm dying like a star 

not really sure 

i like how i'm turning out 

tell me, did i make you proud?
