Overachiever - Larkin Poe

Overachiever

You’ve always been

Running in and out of trouble

Time again

You’re the silence in my sound

You’re the ropes that keep me bound

You’re the side of me that brings me down

You reach for perfection

And by the time you’re done

You have strangled all the good things

One by one

You’re the silence in my sound

You’re the ropes that keep me bound

You’re the side of me that brings me down

She’s an overachiever

Puts on a show for the people

Fakes a smile as she’s passing by

If she could hold it together

She would make it all better

While she’s walking around in style

Overachiever

Face against the glass

Craving all the pretty things

That we don’t have

You’re the silence in my sound

You’re the thorns within my crown

You’re the side of me that brings me down
