USELESS [Verse 1] I heard it in the hallway, Whispered when I walked by, “Why are they still here?” “Can’t they even try?” I became the punchline, The failure in the room, Every word they threw at me Started sounding like a tomb. [Pre-Chorus] Always second, always last, Always stuck behind the glass. You made me feel like I was nothing, Now I’m done with looking back. [Chorus] Useless! That’s the word you threw at me. Useless! Like that’s all I’ll ever be. You said I was less, So I stopped chasing your respect. If I never fit your world, Then I won’t fit it yet. [Verse 2] I was never your success story, Never the one you wanted to see. You measured every little failure Like it proved what was wrong with me. I learned to laugh at insults, Learned to swallow every doubt, But every time you shut me up, Another scream came out. [Pre-Chorus] Always broken, always blamed, Always someone else to shame. You kept calling me a failure Till I stopped believing your name. [Chorus] Useless! That’s the word you threw at me. Useless! Like that’s all I’ll ever be. You said I was less, So I stopped chasing your respect. If I never fit your world, Then I won’t fit it yet. [Bridge] I don’t need to be your favorite. I don’t need to be your pride. I don’t need your definition Hanging like a weight outside. You wanted me to disappear, To fade into the background. But I’m taking back my voice tonight— Turn the speakers up loud! [Punk Breakdown] Less! Less! That’s all you ever said! Less! Less! You got inside my head! But I’m more than your rejection, More than your neglect! You called me USELESS— I call it disrespect! [Final Chorus] Useless! You don’t get to name my life. Useless! I survived your endless lies. I was “always less,” At least that’s what you made me believe. Now I’m tearing up the label That you tried to stick on me. [Outro] Call me useless. Call me nothing. Call me whatever you want. I’ve heard it all before. And I’m still here.
