Wrong damn thing - KMurdock Music Group
I could do it in my sleep
Honestly, I have
Everyone keeps clapping, I keep sinking in the back
Stacking compliments like currency I can't spend
Call me a natural like that ain't where the trouble begins
Fluent in a language that I hate to speak
Everywhere it comes out right, none of them are me
So I take it like a compliment, swallow like it's medicine
Smile until it aches, keep the gratitude condensing
Everyone's so proud of me
For someone I have never been
I'm so good at what I don't want
So damn sharp where it doesn't count
Take a bow, accept another round
Of praise that weighs a thousand pounds
I'm so good
At the wrong damn thing
Somebody somewhere is dying for what I throw away
Practicing for years at what took me half a day
And the guilt of that just marinates, it sits between my ribs
I'm ungrateful for the thing that everybody says they'd give their whole life for
Isn't that the cruelest kind of joke?
Got exactly what they wanted and I'm choking on the smoke
So I take it like a compliment, swallow like it's medicine
Smile until it aches, keep the gratitude condensing
Everyone's so proud of me
For someone I've never been
I'm so good at what I don't want
So damn sharp where it doesn't count
Take a bow, accept another round
Of praise that weighs a thousand pounds
I'm so good
At the wrong damn thing
If I walked away, would they miss me or the trick?
If the talent quit tomorrow, who'd still care that I exist?
The best parts of me
Are the parts I didn't pick
I'm so good at what I don't want
So damn sharp where it doesn't count
Take a bow, accept another round
Of praise that weighs a thousand pounds
I'm so good
At the wrong damn thing
At the wrong damn thing
Yeah the wrong damn thing
