LYRICS
------------

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 envelopes 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 butterfy 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.

On iTunes when you say the "I'm not going to give it up'" part

at that part.. it turnes really heavy or something.. like metal music.. :S

I like this one better <3

[jettoy1]

Heey, for school, we have to sing a song at the and of the year, and we get a better note when I'm playing an instrument at the same time. So could you please make an instrumental version, and put the lyrics under it?

Thanks forward,

@purplesquidget its essentially about learning and wanting to be a better person and the struggle and uncertainty one faces from trying to do so the who "she cant learn not to send a goldfish to a big and huge sea" so is the notion that she shouldnt rush and try to move quicker than she can i think anyway..sorry that was long :)

[TheElements1111]

omg o.O this is awesome \... can i have ur permission to sing this in my schools talentshow?

[KoeHalifax]

@Aznboi3517 she mentions a goldfish in the song...i think she equivocates herself and the goldfish as being someone small ready to be pushed into the large and free world.

[Aznboi3517]

I think i know why its called "the goldfish song" Clara Chung has a song called "the camel song" yet theres is no particular reason for it but clara said that it is an inside joke with a friend and that could be kina

[purplesquidget]

ok, just looked at the lyrics. still love the song, still dont get the reference to fish....

[purplesquidget]

hey, um, i love this song and havent looked up the lyrics, which might answer my question, but what does this have to do with goldfish...? still, gorgeous, i think ive listened to it seven times or more now.

[everplanet]

This track from the Stairwells album, you should do a video of this song. Best to you!

[Secretina97]

I have the shirt! <3

@jettoy1 Oh not at all like metal music, but i see what you mean. Its just like a soft electric guitar, i think it sounds ok, but accoustic stuff is always better :)
