Tension

I should be more prim, yeah
I should be more proper
Rough around the edges
Still somebody's daughter
I should be more thin, yeah
Should've gone to Harvard
Just a college dropout
Shouldn't even bother

I got these voices in my head
Sometimes they wish that I was dead
But I know that deep inside my heart
This is just the start, this is just the start

It's like i'm high and there's no coming down
I drown out all the sound of my own thoughts
With good intention
Striving for perfection
No more apprehension
Lessening the tension

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Could've been a friend, yeah
Could've been a lover
Could've been it all but you left me for another
I questioned myself but couldn't find the answers
I wasn't to blame, it was just the circumstances

I got this voice inside my head
It tells me I've got more to give
Yeah I know it deep inside my mind
I was made to shine, I was made to shine

It's like i'm high and there's no coming down
I drown out all the sound of my own thoughts
With good intention
Striving for perfection
No more apprehension
Lessening the tension

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

So when I'm going through hell
And all I got is myself
I know that darlin' I have seen the worst of it
And it hurts a bit
But I'm still wishing you well
Cut through the tension like a knife
When I cut you off it felt so right
I finally left it all behind
I know that I was made to shine

It's like i'm high and there's no coming down
I drown out all the sound of my own thoughts
With good intention
Striving for perfection
No more apprehension
Lessening the tension

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
