Luyện nghe bài hát The Competition

I never wanted to be than my friends
I just wanted to prove the people in my head
the ones who me I'd be better of dead
the ones who told me I would never win

when I newspapers they said I was too slow
when I was a barista they said I made foam
when I worked in retail they I was a slob
much too dumb for school and too lazy for a job

so I rode my like lightning
and I made cappuccinos that make the angels sing
took two showers a day and I dressed up like a
shook my fist in my own face and said I'll you who's the best

I wrote the kinds of papers teachers up on their walls
I was employee of the month at seven different malls
and one time playing I pulled the tendons in my leg
to prove I was tough I hopped on one foot
and up the game

I thought if I succeeded I'd be happy and go away
but first thing in the morning I'd still up and I'd hear them say
"you're fat, ugly, and stupid, you should be ashamed
no one will ever like you you're not at anything"

and sometimes I'd to the challenge
but other I'd feel so bad that I could not get out of bed
and on the days I stayed in bed I sang and sang and
about how crappy I felt no realizing how many other people relate

now people send me emails that say thanks for saying the things they know how to say
and the people in my head visit me sometimes
and they bring all of their friends but I mind
I play my guitar lightning
when I sing I like it when you too loud and clear
different voices different tones all "yeah, we're not alone"
I got good at feeling bad and that's why I'm still
I got good at feeling bad and that's why I'm here
I got good at bad and that's why I'm still here
