Verse:
I know I don’t talk a lot
And overthink what you say
I’m an introverted narcissist
I’m a walking cliche
They say it’s all trial and error
Take out your rose tinted lens
But I feel my inner fantasist
Falling for it again
Pre-Chorus:
Just let me down gently
And maybe I did too much second guessing
And mistook this thing for something more
And I’ve got too much time on my hands
Yeah there’s always one who wants it more
Chorus:
And we can’t change the things we’ve said
And everyone has come to see the end
And I know that soon I’ll have to run
Is this how it goes for everyone?
Verse:
Watch another self help video
That says it’s all in confidence
But I know that there’s no closure in life
It’s a series of moments
Spend every hour wishing
I could be what they all want
Well maybe I’ll make my own meaning now
Let’s see how far this one goes
Pre-Chorus:
Try to let me down gently
And maybe I was trying far too hard
I guess it goes to show how little I know
And I think that I’ll be leaving now
And who even cares where I will go?
Chorus:
And we can’t change the things we’ve said
And everyone has come to see the end
And I know that soon I’ll have to run
Is this how it goes for everyone?
Bridge:
Why am I so unworthy of this postmodern love?
And if you wanna come down
Don’t give me none of that small talk now
You know I’ll be right here
Chorus:
And we can’t change the things we’ve said
And everyone has come to see how this ends
And I know that soon I’ll have to run
Is this how it goes for everyone?
