"Star Potential" lyrics

"Star Potential"

Last night, had a future so bright
Had to cover my eyes, yeah, I really believed it
And today, I woke up all alone
I kept checking my phone but nobody called it

Look in the mirror and I wanna die
I'm getting good at faking confidence
Not really living, I'm just waiting in line
But I can't pay my bills with all my

Star potential, yeah
I'll keep telling myself I'm special
Star potential
My words mean nothing till I'm successful
Tryna be myself
But way too busy tryna be like everyone else
And their star potential
I'm not different and I'm not special

This world really sold me a lie
Got a window of time, now I'm dreading my birthday
So, I thought, if I cut off my hair
Maybe people would care, guess it doesn't work that way

Look in the mirror and I wanna die
I'm getting good at faking confidence
Not really living, I'm just waiting in line
But I can't pay my bills with all my

Star potential, yeah
I'll keep telling myself I'm special
Star potential
My words mean nothing till I'm successful
Tryna be myself
But way too busy tryna be like everyone else
And their star potential
I'm not different and I'm not special

Da, da
Da-da, da, da-da-da
Da, da
Da-da, da, da-da-da
Da, da
Da-da, da, da-da-da
Da, da
Da-da, da, da-da-da

Everybody's saying, "Hurry up and get famous"
But it all comes with pressure, it's not gonna be painless
Always doing my best but I'm still fucking aimless
Still fucking aimless, yeah
Everybody's saying, "Hurry up and get famous"
But it all comes with pressure, it's not gonna be painless
I'm always doing my best but I'm still fucking aimless
Still fucking aimless, yeah

I've just got my star potential, yeah
I'll keep telling myself I'm special
Star potential
My words mean nothing till I'm successful
Tryna be myself
But way too busy tryna be like everyone else
And their star potential
I'm not different and I'm not special
I'm not different and I'm not special
I'm not different and I'm not special
