Once Upon a Time
I don't want your second hand poetry
You quote everyone but yourself
So you're known by nobody
You say you feel trapped by
Who you're meant to be
Wishing reputation and expectations
Weren't life's currency
We were so convinced
Yeah we were so convicted
Once upon a time
But now we're all indifferent
Pretending we're opinionless
For others peace of mind
Oh tell me why
I know it took a lot to like yourself
And as soon as you did
They asked you to be different
They say be confident
But they never really mean it
Unless you act how they expected
I've never been good at guessing what that is
We were so convinced
Yeah we were so convicted
Once upon a time
But now we're all indifferent
Pretending we're opinionless
For others peace of mind
Oh what about mine?
Your personality's on holiday
Until it's back in vogue
Did no one tell you that
You're soul's your own?
Why'd you write over it's postal code?
We were so convinced
Yeah we were so convicted
Once upon a time
But now we're all indifferent
Pretending we're opinionless
For others peace of mind
Oh tell me why
You quote everyone but yourself
So you're known by nobody
You say you feel trapped by
Who you're meant to be
Wishing reputation and expectations
Weren't life's currency
We were so convinced
Yeah we were so convicted
Once upon a time
But now we're all indifferent
Pretending we're opinionless
For others peace of mind
Oh tell me why
I know it took a lot to like yourself
And as soon as you did
They asked you to be different
They say be confident
But they never really mean it
Unless you act how they expected
I've never been good at guessing what that is
We were so convinced
Yeah we were so convicted
Once upon a time
But now we're all indifferent
Pretending we're opinionless
For others peace of mind
Oh what about mine?
Your personality's on holiday
Until it's back in vogue
Did no one tell you that
You're soul's your own?
Why'd you write over it's postal code?
We were so convinced
Yeah we were so convicted
Once upon a time
But now we're all indifferent
Pretending we're opinionless
For others peace of mind
Oh tell me why
