Graded on a Curve

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's a waste of time, it's a race that can't be won Call the whole thing off, well, that's easier said than done And I try to shut it out and I think I've figured out That it makes no sense to compare what I've done now [Chorus] So what do I do now that I'm alone? I've been building up and tearing down And looking for what never can be found So what do I do now that I'm alone? God, I tried so hard to get here Still I'm averaged out, graded on a curve [Verse 2] Put the blinders on and believe in someone else You're not what they want, that's exactly what they sell And it's all been preordained but it's never quite the same Once you've figured out that it makes no sense at all [Chorus] So what do I do now that I'm alone? I've been building up and tearing down And looking for what never can be found So what do I do now that I'm alone? God, I tried so hard to get here Still I'm averaged out, graded on a curve [Bridge] And I don't care if I'm the one who makes mistakes And I don't care how long this is going to take Does it really matter how you played the game When you were never really in it? [Verse 3] It's a waste of time, it's a race that can't be won Call the whole thing off, well, that's easier said than done [Chorus] So what do I do now that I'm alone? I've been building up and tearing down And looking for what never can be found So what do I do now that I'm alone? God, I tried so hard to get here Still I'm averaged out, graded on a curve [Outro] And I don't care if I'm the one who makes mistakes Graded on a curve And I don't care how long this is going to take Graded on a curve Does it really matter how you played the game Graded on a curve When you were never really in it? It's a waste of time Call the whole thing off
