Chords with lyrics
🎸 Verse 1: C Dm my entire self is built from praise I received in adolescence F G and the ever growing fear that I'm just getting less impressive C Dm they told me I was special, never taught me how to not be F G I'll fly straight into the sun baby it's to late to stop me 🎸 Verse 2: C Dm top of the class to the bottom of the barrel F G I'm drowning in the plot of my forever dress rehearsal C Dm had my piece of cake but I can't stomach bread and butter F G take my better self to bed just to hide under the covers
🎸 Chorus: G C Dm F G am I a burnt out former gifted kid or just a lazy narcissist? C Dm F G was I always gonna be like this? Is it something we could have avoided? C Dm my identity rests on each performance F G real is a risk and I can't afford it C Dm I need your love and to ignore it F G now clap 🎸 Verse 3: C Dm I retrace my steps follow a trail of perfect scores F G and I'm unsurprised to realize that I've always been this bored C Dm always obsessed with winning, proud of not having to try F G imprisoned in perception, hate the self I won't apply 🎸 Verse 4: C Dm I'll do almost anything to avoid being alone F G with all that "so much potential" and the half assed seeds I've sown C Dm it's like the opposite of stage fright, a fear still undefined F G try to think about it like reading a strangers mind
🎸 Chorus: G C Dm F G am I a burnt out former gifted kid or just a lazy narcissist? C Dm F G was I always gonna be like this? is it something we could have avoided? C Dm my identity rests on each performance F G real is a risk and I can't afford it C Dm I need your love and to ignore it F G Now Clap 🎸 Verse 5: C Dm the writings on the fourth wall, the stage is growing fragile F G but I need to see you see me or reality unravels C Dm a string of desperate measures, a tangled can’t grow up F G I’ll implode if you ignore me, any excuse to self destruct 🎸 Verse 6: C Dm it's a lonely vain exhibit, a burning house of glass F G nothing I do really matters 'til I share it with the class C Dm I had barely learned to tie it before the other shoe was dropping F G compulsive causing scenes cause I'm not real if you're not watching 🎸 Chorus: G C Dm F G am I a burnt out former gifted kid or just a lazy narcissist? C Dm F G was I always gonna be like this? is it something we could have avoided? C Dm my identity rests on each performance F G real is a risk and I can't afford it C Dm I need your love and to ignore it F G C Now CLAP
