LYRICS

I wanna know her, I wanna know her name
I wanna hold her and in the summer rain
Maybe walkin' down the pier on a Saturday night
Hmm-mm, mm
Maybe she'll tell me, she'll tell me all her fears
Speakin' softly, confident and clear
She's so cool, she's so funny, spinnin' 'round in my mind
Hmm-mm, mm
I know she knows I'm unsure
'Cause I don't know who I am anymore, but
She could break my heart and she don't even try it
She can make me feel like I'm livin' a lie
How could I make it better?
How could I ever tell her?
When she sinks so low with that look in her eye
Makes me question who I am and how I'm livin' my life
How could I make it better?
How could I ever tell her?
I wanna take her, I wanna take her out
'Cause when we're dancin' she really makes me doubt
And maybe later it gets colder, she says, "Come back to mine"
Eh-eh, hey
I know she knows I'm unsure
'Cause I don't know who I am anymore, but
She could break my heart and she don't even try it
She could make me feel like I'm livin' a lie
How could I make it better?
How could I ever tell her?
When she sinks so low with that look in her eye
Makes me question who I am and how I'm livin' my life
How can I make it better?
How could I ever tell her?
Ah-ha, ah
Ah-ah, ha, ah
Ah-ha, ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ha, ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
She could break my heart and she don't even try it
She could make me feel like I'm livin' a lie
How could I make it better?
Wish I had the nerve to tell her
When she sinks so low with that look in her eye
Makes me question who I am and how I'm livin' my life
How could I make it better?
How could I ever tell her? (ah-ha, ah)
makes me question
(Ah-ha, ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah)
(Ah-ha, ah)
(Ah-ah, ha, ah) makes me question
(Ah-ha, ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah)

Connection comes and goes
I'm going through a phase
With you and I alone
And baby, I can't see clear
I've come to terms with this
And now I should explain
I put my foot in it
There's a monster in my brain
I just thought you should know
Whenever I call you, whenever I hold you
I just need you to know how much you mean to me
Nothing compares to the love you have for me
When it seems, I'm in a Neverland
Monster brain in command
You say, "Can't stop the light, can't run from the fire
My dear"
And you'd never know how much
Your patience means to me
'Cause I'm so out of touch
Thank God you can read me
And I'm so scared
I might go down an unforgiving road
It's not a test I want you to take
But sometimes I can't control my words
That's why I need you to know
Whenever I call you, whenever I hold you
I just need you to know how much you mean to me
Nothing compares to the love you have for me
When it seems, I'm in a Neverland
Monster brain in command
You say, "Can't stop the light, can't run from the fire
My dear"
Oh, it's taking over
Oh, these words aren't sober
Monster brain, low and behold
Whenever I call you, whenever I hold you
I just need you to know how much you mean to me
Nothing compares to the love you have for me
When it seems, I'm in a Neverland
Monster brain in command
You say, "Can't stop the light, can't run from the fire"
When it seems I'm in Neverland
Monster brain in command
Can't stop the light, can't run from the fire
My dear
My dear
Call you, hold
Oh, nothing compares
Can't stop the light, can't run from the fire
(When it seems I'm in a Neverland) oh-oh
(In command)
Can't stop the light, can't run from the fire
My dear

I'm not trying to make this hard
I'm just trying to play my part
And bless my soul
If I can make it through this mess alone
I can't make this up
So rerun
Waking up
I call shot gun
Lay it up
For the rerun
Baby it's a rerun
If there's one thing that I know for certain
Live this life as though I've earned it
And I will grow and make mistakes
Honey you should know
I can't make this up
So rerun
Waking up
I call shot gun
Lay it up
For the rerun
Baby it's a rerun
And call back
On my line
I need to know that
You'll be fine
For the rerun
Baby it's a rerun

A wounded deer to you
Is all I'll ever be and that's the truth
Hear my cry
There's power in this pain
I'm building up the walls
And you're to blame
It's a crime
Ah Ooo
Living with the consequence
Ooo
I've been playing dead
I've got the evidence
I'm not looking for a reason
All I see is red
Everywhere I go it seems like
There's another threat
That I'm up against
I've got nowhere left to hide
I've got the evidence
CCTV caught you out
And you've got no defence
Everywhere I go it seems like
They're not listening
Fucking hypocrites
You've got nowhere left to hide
Flying when you shot me
Dragged me under
Magic carpet rider
Dreamer, lover
Now
Take your bow
Take your
Say my name again
Write it in that gold ink glitter pen
Take your time
And I pray you see it too
Now you feel the fear
He's watching you
You can't hide
Ah Ooo
Living with the consequence
Ooo
Sick of playing dead
I've got the evidence
I'm not looking for a reason
All I see is red
Everywhere I go it seems like
There's another threat
That I'm up against
I've got nowhere left to hide
I've got the evidence
CCTV caught you out
And you've got no defence
Everywhere I go it seems like
They're not listening
Fucking hypocrites
You've got nowhere left to hide
Was it in the way I walked
Or was it in the way talked
These endless thoughts
Are cutting me like knives
Now all you'll ever be is someone
Sad enough that sees that just
Because I am a woman
I am yours
Flying when you shot me
Dragged me under
Magic carpet rider
Dreamer, lover
Now
Take your bow
I've got the evidence
I'm not looking for a reason
All I see is red
Everywhere I go it seems like
There's another threat
That I'm up against
I've got nowhere left to hide
I've got the evidence
CCTV caught you out
And you've got no defence
Everywhere I go it seems like
They're not listening
Fucking hypocrites
You've got nowhere left to hide
La da da da da...

I wade in wars to hear you call
You've got some game if you are here at all
'Cause you can dance for me, darling
You can dance for me, darling
Is that alright?
And in the morning you will rise
Knock them off their feet and give them that big surprise
'Cause you can dance for me, darling
You can dance for me, darling

So stay awake, don't slip away
I promise there's still time
In this scary world, I'll be your girl
I'll hold you while you fight
So stay awake, don't slip away tonight
And don't you dare, don't you dare back out

I'm gonna make a change, gonna start anew
Have to take a different view, I'm happy tonight
And in this world of war and self decay
I wish I could say I'm okay, I'm happy tonight
Cause I'm the one who shouldn't feel but you're makin' me
There's a mark that you left I need to make my peace
If I can't ever love myself I'm wasting memories and it's over
I'm so happy
But I can't breathe
I'm so happy
Like I should be
People love to judge and talk their shit
I'm not gonna have that when did I happy tonight
But how am I supposed to love myself?
When all I do is seek approval from someone else
It's such a stupid ugly truth
Mm mm mm
And I'm the one who shouldn't feel but you're making me
There's a mark that you left I need to make my peace
If I can't ever love myself I'm wasting memories, it's over
I'm so happy
But I can't breathe
And I'm so happy
Just like they told me
I wanna stand up, stand up and feel something real
All this fake business, it's bullshit
Never felt this numb, just wanna feel it, feel it
Give me some more of what you're really thinkin to
Settle the score
Just wanna feel it all
I'm so happy
But I can't breathe
I'm so happy
Like I should be
Oh I'm so happy yeah
Happy yeah
So happy
I'm happy
I'm happy
I'm so happy
(I'm the one who shouldn't feel but you're makin' me)
(There's a mark that you left I need to make my peace)
I'm so happy
(If I can't ever love myself I'm wasting memories, it's over)

I've been driving with my eyes closed head back
Lying in the wreckage of our love
Thought we made a pact
That our love would last forever
At least that's what you said to me
Got my tight jeans on and my hair back
Do you still think that I'm funny
When I dance like that?
Did my lips red like you like it
Do you still like it?
Oh I've been losing sleep
Writing another stupid song and
I've been dying and obsessing like
I did something wrong
I've been hating on you
And professing we are through but
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't
Thinking about you
I take all those stupid things
That I said back
You did nothing if I'm honest
To deserve that
You always said we'd last forever
Is that different to eternity?
Oh I've been losing sleep
Writing another stupid song and
I've been dying and obsessing like
I did something wrong
I've been hating on you
And professing we are through but
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't
Thinking about you
I've been losing sleep
Thinking of how things could've been and
Feeling paralysed
Contemplating our separate lives
Lying awake till the sunrise
I thought we found paradise
You said we'd last forever
Guess that makes you a liar
I would be lying, be lying if I said
I would be lying, be lying if I said
Oh I've been losing sleep
Writing another stupid song and
I've been dying and obsessing like
I did something wrong
I've been hating on you
And professing we are through but
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't
Thinking about you

Forget it, I know how you want it
A huh I'm not her
Don't wanna talk about it
I see it when you lie when you come back run back
Wondering why I didn't call back
Look me in the eye I know you
Don't wanna talk about it
Cause I love you babe and I want you to stay here
It's a two way road but it feels like we ride in a one way, one way
Ooo honey, take it down
I wanna wear the crown
You should see me now
Ooo honey I got needs too
Need you to please please please
Please my needs too
Address it
I know how I want it
Ah huh I'm a woman
I wanna talk about it
I see it when you lie when you come back run back
Wondering why I didn't call back
Look me in the eye I know you
Don't wanna talk about it
Cause I love you babe and I want you to stay here
It's a two way road but it feels like we ride in a one way, one way
Ooo honey, take it down
I wanna wear the crown
You should see me now
Ooo honey I got needs too
Need you to please please please
Please my needs too

I've never known you
Don't pretend you ain't lonely
You know how to act cute
'Cause I'm not your one and only
You know what? This ain't cool
Making me feel insane
And now it's never gonna be
Never gonna be the same
Never gonna, never gonna be the same
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
My mama told me not to fear my enemies
Know that I'm stronger than I think I am
Take any longer it runs in my veins
I've got a voice and it's in command (ooh-ooh)
I'm my own woman (ooh-ooh)
I can feel it coming
It's never gonna be, never gonna be, never gonna be
Never gonna be the same
So this is what it feels like, uh
To stand up for your power
You ain't gotta act right
You've got the brains don't you cower
You've got potential
Breaking the rules of this game
And now it's never gonna be, never gonna be
Never gonna be the same
My mama told me not to fear my enemies
Know that I'm stronger than I think I am
Take any longer it runs in my veins
I've got a voice and it's in command (ooh-ooh)
I'm my own woman (ooh-ooh)
I can feel it coming
It's never gonna be, never gonna be, never gonna be
Never gonna be the same
In my heart I feel something I've felt before, I'm not quite sure
Insecurities and bravery, battling hard right through my scars
In my heart I feel something I've felt before, I'm not quite sure
Insecurities and bravery, battling hard right through my scars, oh
Never gonna, never gonna be the same
My mama told me not to fear my enemies
Know that I'm stronger than I think I am
Take any longer it runs in my veins
I've got a voice and it's in command (ooh-ooh)
I'm my own woman (ooh-ooh)
I can feel it coming
It's never gonna be, never gonna be, never gonna be
Never gonna be the same
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Never gonna be the same
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Never gonna be the same
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Never gonna, never gonna be the same
