Sierra Carson - Gold Star Kid

Verse 1
I used to live at the ballpark, dirt under my nails
Every summer vacation was hotter than hell
Always a bit of a try hard, never could hide it well
Crying out at the cages when my average fell

Pre-Chorus
I wanted practically perfect, without all the practice
Some things never change, and this hasn't

Chorus
Gold Star Kid, don't let yourself get in the way again
You want your flowers, then grow them
Nobody's keeping you from reaching it, Gold Star Kid

Verse 2
I used to ace every benchmark, almost the top of my class
Don't know why I still say "almost," guess that's shit I will nеver get past
I wanted pеople to like me, invite me, believe in my songs
I was climbing at 19 and proving them wrong
And I hate to admit that it took me this long to see that nobody else was praying on my downfall

Chorus
Gold Star Kid, don't let yourself get in the way again
You want your flowers, then grow them
Nobody's keeping you from reaching it, Gold Star Kid

Bridge
Gold Star Kid
Gold Star Kid

Outro
I wanted practically perfect, without all the practice
Some things never change, and this hasn't
