Wasted Potential

Wasted Potential - Lindsay Liebro

Lyrics by：Lindsay Liebro

Composed by：Lindsay Liebro

Past 10 and I'm in my notes app

Crying again push another sinking feeling away

Spell out the words you know I'll never say

Arcade full of games you're rigged to lose

It's my future the bad guys get to choose

It's exhausting

Never knowing

What comes next and always showing

Signs of a girl with the wasted potential

Watch what she does with her brain instead of med school

She could be a doctor

She could be a lawyer

But what is she to do with a beat-up guitar oh

Burned out seeing right through my ghost

Tell me when it'll feel like everything's fallen in place

Fallen in place

Don't have her beauty

I don't have her face

Don't have her face

Reflect on a life I could've led

Their doubt living rent free in my head

Rosy cheeks

Red carpet streets

They shine so bright

But they won't ever shine for me

Signs of a girl with the wasted potential

Watch what she does with her brain instead of med school

She could be a doctor

She could be a lawyer

But what is she to do with a beat-up guitar oh

And what will she do when the dream doesn't pan out

Waiting on tables to pay for her rent now

Tell me what's the backup

After all this dreaming

Girl you need a real job

I don't know what you're thinking

Built my whole life on being

The one out of a million

Caught in a Hollywood scheme

But I've got the green light

Baby let's burn this scene

Signs of a girl

Signs of a girl

Signs of a girl

Signs of a girl

Hung up a daydream

Pining just like Gatsby

Drowning out the noise cause you'll never really know me

Signs of a girl with the wasted potential

Watch what she does with her brain instead of med school

Didn't need a backup

After all this dreaming

I can see it clearly

Coulda been

Cause I know me

Woulda been

And I believe

Nothing's too far out of reach

Coulda been

If superstars

Woulda been

Have blue guitars

Then it's calling

Calling me

Coulda been coulda been coulda been a doctor

Woulda been woulda been woulda been but no her

Look again look again look again she's smarter

Look and then look and then

Watch what she does oh
