That's What I Did
When someone tells you, you look great, don’t be flattered.
I never am.
It just means you looked bad yesterday.
When you win a writing competition don’t let it go to your head.
Cause I did.
And now everyone tells me I suck.
When someone tells you that you’re awful at basketball and they sit you on the bench the whole game,
Shove it in their face and make varsity as a freshman.
That’s what I did.
When you’re the lead of your schools musical don’t pursue music
Cause I wanted to,
And now I can’t and won’t sing
When you beat all your cocky guy friends on the slopes don’t just do it once,
I didn’t.
I beat them five times.
When some low life stuck in the 60’s tells you girls shouldn’t play sports don’t listen to him,
Cause I didn’t.
Just pull up and shoot a three in his face.
When your mom doesn’t tell you she loves you, don’t settle for that
I didn’t and I never will.
Just keep telling her that you love her, she will eventually cave.
When you tell your best friend a deep secret don’t trust her,
Cause I did.
And now the whole school knows.
When someone explains to you that brutal honesty is hurtful, don’t listen
I don’t.
Because, one day, you’re going to want to hear that brutal honesty.
When someone puts your dream down and tells you that you can’t achieve it, ignore them.
That’s what I did
