Potential - KMurdock Music Group
Another Tuesday, you're mapping out your whole empire
From the corner of my sofa, preaching to the choir
Got a five-year plan, but you can't make your half of the rent
Swear your big break is coming, but the money's all spent
On a brand new idea, a different scheme
I'm the only investor in your worn-out dream
I'm drawing up the blueprints that you only talk about
Building you a future filled with my own doubt
And I bite my tongue when my sister calls
Cause she sees the writing all over these walls
I say you just need time, a little space to grow
It's a lie I tell myself so I don't have to know
I fell in love with a rough draft, baby
Kept editing you inside my head
Thought I could fix all the typos, maybe
But you're just a story I read
Damn, I played myself, yeah
I fell in love with potential
Should've known better
You're just someone I invented
That new guitar's collecting dust there in the hall
You said it was the final piece to get you the big call
Your SoundCloud's got three demos from two years ago
You talk a big game, but you move so damn slow
And I'm out here defending you to all of my friends
Making up excuses for where your effort ends
I'm your unpaid manager, your one-woman street team
Promoting a headliner who's never seen
And I bite my tongue when your mother calls
Asking if you're finally standing up tall
I say you're working hard, you're getting close
It's a lie I tell us both, I suppose
I fell in love with a rough draft, baby
Kept editing you inside my head
Thought I could fix all the typos, maybe
But you're just a story I read
Damn, I played myself, yeah
I fell in love with potential
Should've known better
You're just someone I invented
I was so busy highlighting all your best lines
I ignored the part where the whole plot declines
You're not a project, not a fixer-upper man
And I'm not the editor for a life with no plan
Done with the rough draft
Yeah, I played myself, yeah
All that potential
Should've known better
I'm closing the document
I'm deleting the file
Done playing myself
