lyrics

I heard you whisper that you were happy once, surely there are better ways to bore myself than thinking about what you're thinking about.

But I will judge you by your personalised, misspelled number plate, like you judge me for the songs I sing and all the mistakes I made. This is the one I'll sing up on the stage.

I will wear my insecurities on my sleeve, you can trace the outline and tattoo them on my skin. They're not permanent but I would rather not forget them.

I heard you crying that you need to leave, that you need to get out of my life. I know that I got to stop writing you songs, I should leave you on the shelf where you belong.

But I never want to write when I'm alone, I want to tear these pages out. Of all the songs you never read and never sung and never even heard about, this is the one I'll sing up on the stage.

I am proud, and I don't give a shit. I am a plagiarist, con-artist. You're the one still listening to this, I am the unartist, you're the hypocrite. So go write your song, 'cos I'm done singing for you.
