[Verse 1]
Three essays due in brackets cla**
I didn't even get a chance to start
I guess I tried just not hard enough to pa**
But i always thought I saw these things for what they are
But now it seems I can't follow this new course
What's to expect when I'm taking Pre-AP
But now I'm stuck with this burden and remorse
And my mothers shadow over me
Screaming I am so much more than this
That with time I could really make this sell
So I take another swing and still i miss
Now I'm a mess and she's asking herself
[Chorus 1]
Is this the best I can do
This is bad
Is this the best I can do
Now it's just getting sad
I was better off before
I'm not even trying anymore
Is this the best I can do
I don't want to find out
I guess when you're alone you're forced to face all of these fears and doubts
[Verse 2]
My friends don't want me around them anymore
Which is something I can understand
Because my life is becoming such a bore
Turning into another problem in their hand
So to lighten' up the mood I'll make a joke
'cause no one else in the room really wants to
But that laugh turns into a hectic choke
When a pretty girl comes walking through
And now she is here and among these empty seats
And I hope this song puts her through hell
And as she stares off from space to the bottom of her feet
She's mumbling all alone to herself
[Chorus 2]
Is this the best I can do
This is bad
Is this the best I can do
Now it's just getting sad
I was better off before
I'm not even trying anymore
Is this the best I can do
I don't want to find out
[Bridge]
Stuck with all these burdens
Stuck here with this lack of concentration
In the end it all seems pointless
It would be easier if I could refute this common sense
This overwhelming ill-conscience
Where this is the only way to deal with myself
[Chorus 3]
Is this the best I can do
This is bad
Is this the best I can do
Now it's just getting sad
I was better off before
I'm not even trying anymore
Is this the best I can do
I don't want to find out
