Basic Instinct
call me spiteful
broken, spineless
trust me, i know
been there
seen that
you always knew it'd be like this
wanna smile but still you insist
on a sad, humdrum life
we feel like this all the time
and cut, everyone's a critic
i have no basic instinct
always left without a trace
noone there to sing your praise
call me righteous
repaired, anxious
trying, failing
contemplating
any second we fall apart
hands up for a broken heart
you see, you see the trend
this movie never seems to end
and cut, everyone's a critic
i have no basic instinct
always left without a trace
noone there to sing your praise
all the possible reactions
garner a false attraction
a camera was never there
it's only ever eyes that care
i really wanna feel
that this is what it's meant to be
the harder it gets
how nice it will be to reset
i really wanna feel
that this is what it's meant to be
the harder it gets
how nice it will be to reset
and cut, everyone's a critic
i have no basic instinct
always left without a trace
noone there to sing your praise
all the possible reactions
garner a false attraction
a camera was never there
it's only ever eyes that care
broken, spineless
trust me, i know
been there
seen that
you always knew it'd be like this
wanna smile but still you insist
on a sad, humdrum life
we feel like this all the time
and cut, everyone's a critic
i have no basic instinct
always left without a trace
noone there to sing your praise
call me righteous
repaired, anxious
trying, failing
contemplating
any second we fall apart
hands up for a broken heart
you see, you see the trend
this movie never seems to end
and cut, everyone's a critic
i have no basic instinct
always left without a trace
noone there to sing your praise
all the possible reactions
garner a false attraction
a camera was never there
it's only ever eyes that care
i really wanna feel
that this is what it's meant to be
the harder it gets
how nice it will be to reset
i really wanna feel
that this is what it's meant to be
the harder it gets
how nice it will be to reset
and cut, everyone's a critic
i have no basic instinct
always left without a trace
noone there to sing your praise
all the possible reactions
garner a false attraction
a camera was never there
it's only ever eyes that care
