You and Your Standards

What’s wrong with me?
Am I not good enough
For your standards?
Am I not smart enough
To know that I just wasn’t the one?
What’s wrong with me?
I really don’t know
But if I’m not good enough
For you and your standards
Then I guess I would move on
But I can’t move on
Every time I see something
I start to cry, why?
‘Cause I’m thinking
Thinking about you and your standards
Thinking what do I have to do
To make you notice me and not her
Thinking why you can’t give me
Just one chance to show you
That I can be everything and more
You and your standards are the reason
The reason why I can’t sleep at night
The reason why I cry all the time
The reason that I needed
To make my world that would drown me
Drown me in my tears from my fears and worries
It’s you and your damn standards
That make my world and the life I live
The way that it is
