I tried so hard
but it wasn't meant to be
I placed so few pieces
I got called a dead weight

It's the story of my life
I suck at everything
I might as well go and lie down
and give up instead

I got the deadweight blues

I got the deadweight blues

Why did I look at the score...
I knew I did badly
It was barely in the double digits
I just couldn't get any further ahead

I got the edge pieces done
I was there from the beginning
I can't make the excuse I was late
I choked so badly, the score called me deadweight

I got the deadweight blues

I got the deadweight blues

mhmmmm
yeah

I got the deadweight blues

I got the deadweight blues
