[Team StarKid, Dylan Saunders - If I Fail You lyrics]
What is this thing in my hand?
Does it breathe or understand
The things I went through
The things Tim went through for it?
I submit
The hell I've been thinkin'?
My heart is so empty everyone's dying
And that includes me too
I was gone long before you
If I fail you one more time
The punishment won't match the crime
'Cause there' no pain that could ever explain
How I let you down
And if I fail you one more time
The mountain I would have to climb
Is so high up that I would have to die oh, I
I failed you once and I will fail again
Does he see a father who doesn't even bother
To get to know him to really know his soul
And his role
Maybe he's happy i wouldn't have any idea
Maybe the route is in
Simply ending the drought
So why not find out?
If I fail you one more time
Or if I fail to recognize what you need
Or when you need me to be around
And if I fail to hear your voice
Or if I make the easy choice
The world would tear asunder, drowning all
Oh, I
I failed you once, and I would fail again
When I turned nine
We went to the 99 cent store
I wanted a pop gun
That looked like they used in the Corps
Knowing my dad, I knew the chance was slim
He got me a cheaper dagger
But deep down it didn't matter
I was with him where's Tim?
She used to like bars
She liked to loosen me up
Just to get at my heart
She'd poke at each of my wounds
To see what I'd say
And now, she's doing the same
And then, flash- and then, flash-
If I fail you one more time
The punishment won't match the crime
'Cause there's no thing that
Could ever explain how I let you down
And if I fail you one more time
The mountain I would have to climb
Is so high up that I would have to die oh, I
I failed you once, but I won't fail again
No, Tom, listen to me: Tickle my belly-well
Stay asleep, stay in Drowsy Town
You're not that cute, are you? In fact
You're real fuckin' ugly
Does it breathe or understand
The things I went through
The things Tim went through for it?
I submit
The hell I've been thinkin'?
My heart is so empty everyone's dying
And that includes me too
I was gone long before you
If I fail you one more time
The punishment won't match the crime
'Cause there' no pain that could ever explain
How I let you down
And if I fail you one more time
The mountain I would have to climb
Is so high up that I would have to die oh, I
I failed you once and I will fail again
Does he see a father who doesn't even bother
To get to know him to really know his soul
And his role
Maybe he's happy i wouldn't have any idea
Maybe the route is in
Simply ending the drought
So why not find out?
If I fail you one more time
Or if I fail to recognize what you need
Or when you need me to be around
And if I fail to hear your voice
Or if I make the easy choice
The world would tear asunder, drowning all
Oh, I
I failed you once, and I would fail again
