Practice Makes Perfect
abandoningsunday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've fallen right in line with this whole world that's gone to hell
My patience all but gone, there's nothing left to take
And nothing I can do that makes a difference anyways
You would think it would be easier the second time around
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
And trying way too hard to just outrun who I once was
I'm giving up the hope 'cause here is where I break
So bring on all the fallout from the choices I have made
You would think it would be easier the second time around
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
And all this time, keeping me in check
Just kick me when I'm down because it hurts a little less
And all I know are all my mistakes
But once again I'll watch all that I love just slip away
You would think it would be easier the second time around
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
You would think by now I'd figure out what I was doing wrong
And all the reasons that escape me now are reasons I'm alone

I'm running out of grace just dealing with myself
My self-disappointment and struggles are exhausting me
I've fallen right in line with this whole world that's gone to hell
The world may be messed up, but I'm part of the problem too
My patience all but gone, there's nothing left to take
I'm at my limit and can't endure any more hardships
And nothing I can do that makes a difference anyways
My efforts feel futile and insignificant
You would think it would be easier the second time around
Experience and familiarity don't necessarily make things easier
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
I've become comfortable with disappointment and setbacks
I'm running out of breath from fighting way too much
The constant struggle is wearing me down
And trying way too hard to just outrun who I once was
I'm struggling to change and move on from my past mistakes
I'm giving up the hope 'cause here is where I break
I'm losing hope and feel like I'm about to fall apart
So bring on all the fallout from the choices I have made
I'm prepared to face the consequences of my actions
And all this time, keeping me in check
My struggles have been a constant reminder of my flaws
Just kick me when I'm down because it hurts a little less
I'm so used to disappointment that I've become numb to it
And all I know are all my mistakes
My mistakes are all I can see and think about
But once again I'll watch all that I love just slip away
My actions will once again cause me to lose those I care about
You would think by now I'd figure out what I was doing wrong
I should have learned from my past mistakes, but I haven't
And all the reasons that escape me now are reasons I'm alone
I'm struggling to understand why I'm alone and unhappy
