hotshot

(Mm, mm, mm)

I've been out and about 'cause I gave myself permission
I can't help but hate when I'm standing still
With no shadow of a doubt
Recently, my heart's been aching
So I'll scrap my songs 'til everybody's listening

You think I'm perfect 'til I'm not
Now there's a problem here
You thought I lost my way
Then acted like I disappeared
But you know I always bounce back
'Cause I'm the poster girl
For turning nothing into something
And I gotta go

We'll meet each other again
If you think that you've seen the best of me, you're wrong
You can't fake passion
I might break
It still won't turn me off
I'm shaking every second if you can't already see

But how come everyone looked at me the same?
Like they were trying to tell me
"Jasmine, won't you pick yourself up?"
Couldn't you see that I was trying?
You wondered if I was enough
Have some more trust in me
The truth is, I care more than you'll ever know
I never lose my spark
I guess I choose when it shows

We'll meet each other again
If you think that you've seen the best of me, you're wrong
You can't fake passion
I might break
It still won't turn me off
I'm shaking every second if you can't already see

Do you remember what I told you a year ago?
I'm such a hotshot
Soon-to-be world sensation
You think there's no use for a star once it burns out
Well, it's a good thing that I didn't then, isn't it?
Isn't it?

(Hi, um)
(I know it's early, I just wanted to see if maybe)
(I could send you another one of my songs, or something)
(Uh, I have a lot of things going on)
(Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm)
