lyrics

i have a lot to learn by living in the back yeah,
keeping in the back, yeah
and now i think i know why i've been in distress yeah
i’ve been in distress yeah
but you havent even had all that much to do with it, do you
do you really think that we've ever had a clue what to do?

i can be what i wanna be, i can be what i wanna be

i'll keep lying, keep trying x3
then you're gonna come around and find another kind of mind
that knows what you've been thinking and who knows what you really are

graceless and incompetent, always had it wrong yeah
i’ve always had it wrong yeah
instead of confidences, all i have's a song yeah
all i have’s a song, yeah
will it get me through the morning after when i'll get caught
and i'll just say that i'm sorry and will you give me one more shot
and i'll be what i wanna be, i can be what i wanna be

i'll keep lying, keep trying x3
then you're gonna come around and find another kind of mind
that knows what you've been thinking and who knows what you really are

i can be what i wanna be, i can be what i wanna be
i'll keep lying, keep trying x3
