Maybe this is the time you need to really try and stretch yourself on a more difficult song. You can do it! Even if you are working at it for a while, it will be worth it. The songs that really make you practice are the songs you usually end up remembering for the rest of your life and playing anytime you sit down at the piano.
So go for it — go pick that more difficult song that you have wanted to learn and do it! Just learn it in the “minced” section of the practice section, and work through star by star.
