BE YOURSELF

Ooh oh oh oh woah
Aah aah aah
Ooh oh oh oh woah

Paler than glass
Running my past through my fingers
Oh oh
It went absurdly fast
But I couldn't just let it linger
But do you you want it
Boils down to how much you want it
Prepare the sonnet
Then write your way into the dark
The mind is brighter in the dark
I can't be there in part
Oh oh

I can't be the one to tell you how to be yourself
The inner me is the enemy
I'm clutching straws now
I'm breaking doors down
I'm wanting more and more and more and more and more
Until I fall down
Babe I'm coming down
Don't wanna be good, I wanna be great
But I don't feel that as of late
Cutting corners leaves you scarred
I was bleeding out
Passion is perfection
There is no question

I think you want it more than you know
You are way more amazing that you
Give yourself credit for
There's never ever been another you before
I can't believe how
Good it feels to let it out
You only get one chance
You don't wanna be ancient worrying about
Coulda woulda shoulda been something
Now there's a child on the way and you missed your chance
You resent them for the fact that you were scared to fail

I can't be the one to tell you how to be yourself
The inner me is the enemy
I'm clutching straws now
I'm breaking doors down
I'm wanting more and more and more and more and more
Until I fall down
Babe I'm coming down
Don't wanna be good, I wanna be great
But I don't feel that as of late
Cutting corners leaves you scarred
I was bleeding out
Passion is perfection
There is no question

I was on the morning train
Flicking through my notes again
Every single post the same
I don't wanna go this way
This is not for me
I doubt it is for you
Listen properly
Cos money just won't do
Now I'm waking up
And I'm dreading the day
I fucking hate this so bad
If I could change it I would
I think that I could make you feel a way
That you've never felt before... but

I can't be the one to tell you how to be yourself
The inner me is the enemy
I'm clutching straws now
I'm breaking doors down
I'm wanting more and more and more and more and more
Until I fall down
Babe I'm coming down
Don't wanna be good, I wanna be great
But I don't feel that as of late
Cutting corners leaves you scarred
I was bleeding out
Passion is perfection
There is no question
