You said go for it, I said stop
 
 I'm more than willing to give this up
 
 This is not meant for me
 
 I'm as helpless as a girl can be
 
  
  You said come, come on, I said wait
 
 It's impossible, it's too late
 
 This is not meant for me
 
 I'm as helpless as a girl can be
  
 
 I still fear though I know it all by heart, now
 
 It all by heart now...
 
 I still don't dare, though I've learned every part, now
 
 Every part now...
  
 
 But if I had been stronger
 
 If I had been brave
 
 I could have given what I never gave
 
 If I had been better
 
 If I had been the best
 
 You would be proud of me
 
 Like all the rest
 
 You would be proud of me
 
 Like all the rest
  
 
 You said try once more, I said well
 
 This will not work, so I have to tell
 
 This is not meant for me
 
 I'm as helpless as a girl can be
  
 
 I still fear though I know it all by heart, now
 
 It all by heart now...
 
 I still don't dare, though I've learned every part, now
 
 Every part now...
  
 
 But if I had been stronger
 
 If I had been brave
 
 I could have given what I never gave
 
 If I had been better
 
 If I had been the best
 
 You would be proud of me
 
 Like all the rest...
  
 
 You could be proud of me
