The Goldfish Song

Kina Grannis · Stairwells [2011]

I feel defeated again

I'm always losing to myself

I tried to build a better me

Shack to castle and it fell down



I had the right intentions

Sometimes, my hope envelops me

And I can't learn the lesson

Not to send a goldfish to the sea



This matter is mine

Don't worry, I'm fine

This matter is mine

I'm not going to give it up



I know what you've been thinking

Too soon to empty my cocoon

This butterfly is not ready

Wouldn't she know better than you?



This matter is mine

Don't worry, I'm fine

This matter is mine

I'm not going to give it up
