LYRICS:

Scene one, take two
Didn’t capture the right mood
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What they said is true
Still painful to go through
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Overrun by the fear of another no
Feel the push in the air, not fatal blow
No, the failure is not a cloud around me yet

Sweaty palms when I'm facing the piano
Is it effortless, is it a fiasco
But I'm saying to you I'm not done round here yet

So this is not a love song (is it what you want?)
This is not a call to home (is it what you want?)
This is not a lovers' poem (is it what you want?)
This is not an undertow (is it what you want?)
This is not club song (is it what you want?)
This is not a power show (is it what you want?)
All I do is write my fears, and I hold my tears
Through a thin veneer, 'til it disappears
So can I?

My face feels aged,
Dark lines to a blank page
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

My chest’s in pain
White shirt with a bloodstain
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I don’t mind what I feel when I’m in the zone
And I learned not to fear how to be alone
But the demons in me are not done round here yet, no
Find it hard when I'm feeling just a lot of low
They never sing about depression on the radio
But I’m saying to you I’m not done round here yet

So this is not a love song (is it what you want?)
This is not a call to home (is it what you want?)
This is not a lovers' poem (is it what you want?)
This is not an undertow (is it what you want?)
This is not club song (is it what you want?)
This is not a power show (is it what you want?)
All I do is write my fears, and I hold my tears
Through a thin veneer, 'til it disappears
So can I?

And to everything I’m so close not to feel it
I can’t work out if I’m doing it right
Or I’m doing you wrong
So I've been working through the long, long nights
I've been working through the long, long nights
Been working through the long, long nights
To conceal it

So this is not a love song (is it what you want?)
This is not a call to home (is it what you want?)
This is not a lovers poem (is it what you want?)
This is not an undertow (is it what you want?)
This is not club song (is it what you want?)
This is not a power show (is it what you want?)
All I do is write my fears, and I hold my tears
Through a thin veneer, 'til it disappears

This is not a love song (is it what you want?)
This is just a part of Rome (is it what you want?)
Just a little domino (is it what you want?)
Is it what you want, is it what you want?
This is not a love song (is it what you want?)
This is not a call to home (is it what you want?)
I just wanna understand how our lives are planned
Be a better man more than I can stand
So can I?
