jools England - Failing

I give my best, but still I fail
I run my fastest, but to no avail
There's always somebody who's
stronger, faster, better
I really try, but I'll never get there
I'm not blessed with luck these days
Nothing seems to be going my way
That's why I can't smile like before
As if the joyous part of me walked right out the door
I run my fastest, but still get beat
I land on my head, when I should be on my feet
And I'm sick of trying

jools England
