Letra de ' Valedictorian ' de jenny nuo

The gig is up, the battle's done
The kings and queens put down their crowns
The war is over now
Why am I still empty somehow?

The lights are downed, they take a bow
Standing ovations from the crowd

I worked so hard for this
But still do I deserve it?

And they all say it feels so good to reach your goals someday
Eyes on the prize, but I still feel like: Maybe I'm just in the way

I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
Didn't know what I wanted until the tenth grade

So what am I here for? What do I say?
I'm not your valedictorian

I see it written all over their faces
They know I'm probably taking someone else's' space

So what am I here for? What do I say?
I'm not your valedictorian

They call my name, you squeeze my hand
But I'm still that girl who didn't understand

Asking questions in the classroom
This cap and gown feels more like a costume

My high school counselor once told me
Some things are just out of your league
You should stick to singing
'Cause they build robots, and you can't compete

I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
Didn't know what I wanted until the tenth grade

So what am I here for? What do I say?
I'm not your valedictorian

I see it written all over their faces
They know I'm probably taking someone else's' space

So what am I here for? What do I say?
I'm not your valedictorian

I wanna thank my mom and dad
I wanna thank the best friends I ever had
I wanna thank my sister, because she was always there for me
To them, I'm always a valedictorian

I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
Didn't know what I wanted until the tenth grade

So what am I here for? What do I say?
I'm not your valedictorian

I see it written all over their faces
They know I'm probably taking someone else's' space

So what am I here for? What do I say?
I'm not your valedictorian
