Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And another thing left that I need to say
I took a knife in case it was a home game
It was wrong and right
Did you expect I might be
On the way to enlighten yet another boy?
I had a clean girl brow
It was a little forced to be what I want
Whilst pleasing everyone
[Verse 2]
And you can sing!
And you can thrive!
And you could never say I didn't try
But it was for who I was and not who I'd become
So what's left? I hear you cry
It's just another new mountain to climb
But I know that at the top is where the next hill starts
[Verse 3]
And there is nowhere left for your head to turn
Yeah, there's nowhere left for your head to turn
History repeating
But without the learning
And yet they spend their energy
Coming for anybody
Who doesn't get it right
Who really gets it right?
And I'm a ghost
It's a machine
And now they're following where I've been
But what you looking for?
I'm just like you but boring
[Verse 4]
And in the end
I'm coming clean
I've spent my whole life lying
About the things I want
About the things I should have done
[Verse 5]
I'm inferior, you're the absolute
This has got everything and nothing to do with you
I've a house to buy
I've still got this fucked mind
And as another year turns around the bend
As I nudge out yet another friend
It's still hard out here
But, fuck, I'll just keep going
[Verse 6]
And I'm alone
At least for now
'Cos I can never dumb myself down
I just know way too much
To ever fall in love
But the idea's good
I see where you're all coming from
[Verse 7]
So I'll roll on unmerrily
On the way to make another wedding about me
I've got boundaries plenty
But they're just so tiring
So I pick and choose what is fine to lose
I don't care about much but I care about you
You're the only one who I'm still writing songs for
And I'm on edge
I make it work
I know that digging in the dirt
Is how someone like me gets there eventually
[Verse 8]
And, yeah, there's shame that I'm not okay
But the Deep Blue's there inside of me
And I have my doubts
But know I'll always work it out
[Verse 9]
You'll always work it out
[Verse 10]
And another thing left that I need to say
Y'know what? I might try today
I might fucking try today
Try today
Try today
Another thing left that I need to say
Y'know what? I might try today
I might fucking try today
Try today
Try today
[Outro]
It's all mine to lose
She says, "Babe, you got this"
But what does that mean?
I guess I've got something
It's all mine to lose
She says, "Babe, you got this"
But what does that mean?
I guess I've got something
