Not Trying Hard Enough

to the tune of “Too Much to Ask” by Avril Lavigne

It’s the first time I’ve ever felt this nervous
Just can’t wait to see who made the team

It’s funny when you think that you’re the best
Till they chose Bell over me. I hate this game

Thought I was good until the point
Up until the point I got booed when I dropped the Quaffle
Finally figured out how bad I was
But I just couldn’t believe it

Every time I try to score a goal
There’s always a Keeper in front of the pole
Every time I try to steal the Quaffle
I can’t I just fall
They think I’m awful
Am I not trying hard enough?

Thought I’d get better if I just practiced
Sort of thought it was worth the time
But I guess Quidditch isn’t my thing
‘Cause I’m not about to walk on that field again

Guess I kind of lied to myself
Didn’t really see how bad I was
It’s not too late to take some advice
Guess I really need it

Every time I try to score a goal
There’s always a Keeper in front of the pole
Every time I try to steal the Quaffle
I can’t I just fall
They think I’m awful
Am I not trying hard enough?

Don’t know what I should do
Lying here alone in tears
Afraid of the truth
No one to comfort me again

Guess I kind of lied to myself
Didn’t really see how bad I was
It’s not too late to take some advice
Guess I really need it

Every time I try to score a goal
There’s always a Keeper in front of the pole
Every time I try to steal the Quaffle
I can’t I just fall
They think I’m awful
I’m not trying hard enough
