"How many times will it take for me to GET IT RIGHT?"

I LOVE GLEE. They cover songs beautifully. My iTunes are filled with Glee cover songs. But there was one episode this season (Season 2) where the Glee kids wrote their original songs for the regionals in which they won. Anyway, one of it was Get It Right written by Rachel Berry (in the TV show only, of course) after she talked with Quinn about Finn. She was so heart broken and hurt and went home and wrote this song. And on the regionals, she sung this with Brittany and Tina as her back-up vocals. 

It was a good song. Back then when I first heard this, I didn't really liked it as much as I liked Loser Like Me. But just last night, I was having one of those days (or night) feeling like... crap. Maybe it's because of the hormones. I still have my monthly period last night (lol! Is it appropriate to say that in a blog?) and you know, it makes girls really emotional.. And when I say emotional, it's not just sadness.. But.. that was what I felt last night. (Crappy period! -_-)

My mind just suddenly sang this and I, myself, was surprised. I had the urge to open my iTunes but was too lazy to open my laptop and besides, I gotta read. So up to this morning, this was what my head's been singing.-_-

I was emailing a friend of mine when I started to play this and it made me teary eyed. I said somethings to her which made me emotional as the lyrics sunk in. I had to compose myself so I won't start crying. And then I searched for its lyrics and bam! It struck me. I was feeling what Rachel Berry was feeling about (some) things... that she just wanted to fix the wrong things she's done but despite of her trying, she still got it wrong. 

I'm not gonna say anymore. I might end up whimpering. Here's the lyrics to Get It Right.


What have I done?
I wish I could run
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right, to get it right?

Can I start again, with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes,
But if I get stronger and wiser, I'll get through this

What can you do when you're good isn't good enough?
And all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?

So I throw up my fists, throw a punch in the air,
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair!
Yeah, I'll send down a wish and I'll send up a prayer
And then finally someone will see how much I care

What can you do when you're good isn't good enough?
And all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?


I guess I just have to stop trying...
