Lyrics:

I cut my hair the way you say you like it
have I got no free will?
I took the long way home to make a point about it
now I’m late but what a thrill

you can’t be my responsibility
what if I want someone to take care of me?
when I put it like that
it sounds so f*cking bleak

and I want you but not like this

been trying to be everything
but I can’t be your rock and your lover, your mom
and i’ve tried
now i’m not anything
just a painting that’s meant to blend in with the wall
i’m tired

if I’m your everything who am I?

see when you get sad I find it all consuming
so can you just not get sad?

I look like a fool
feel like a failure
trying to be your saviour

dancing round the room
trying to make you laugh

been trying to be everything
but I can’t be your rock and your lover, your mom
and i’ve tried
now i’m not anything
just a painting that’s meant to blend in with the wall
i’m tired

if I’m your everything who am I?

i’ll try and i’ll try
‘til it eats me alive
and i’ll do what you want
‘til i’ll something i’m not

I’d jump and i’d run
to the edge and beyond
and for what?
do my best
‘til there’s none of me left

been trying to be everything
but I can’t be your rock and your lover, your mom
god i’ve tried

now i’m not anything
just a silhouette of the person I was
if I’m your everything who am I?
