Not What They Want

Waking up every day with bloodshot eyes

You tell me I should know now

Cause I'm old enough to realise

If I'm honest with myself, I still admit

I've done this long enough now to make peace with who we are

But the pieces fall apart

If I'm not what they want, let them talk, I don't need their blessing

From push to shove, and fitting my whole life in a day

Will it all come down crashing, can I save it all

But I see all the shades fading from colour to gray

Never want to take it way too far

But it's not the case when looking back on who we were

Struggling with what I see

When the feeling's not so clear, it changes me

If I'm not what they want, let them talk, I don't need their blessing

From push to shove, and fitting my whole life in a day

Will it all come down crashing, can I save it all

But I see all the shades fading from colour to gray

Will it all come crashing, dragging everybody down

Try to reach for something before you hit the ground

Will it all come crashing, dragging everybody down

Try to reach for something before you hit the ground

I'm so used to this

It's part of who I've become

I've got nowhere I can run and so

I'm so used to this

But now I'm getting the feeling

That it's time now to heal, you know

Do you feel you're on the outside?

Do you feel there's nowhere to hide?

Do you feel you're on the outside?

Do you feel there's nowhere to hide

If I'm not what they want, let them talk, I don't need their blessing

From push to shove, and fitting my whole life in a day

Will it all come down crashing, can I save it all

But I see all the shades fading from colour to gray

Ay, trying to get out of my way

Don't know what else I can say

I'm trying to reach it

Every night's still the same

No-one else left to blame

It's all in my head, oh yeah
