[Intro - Jack Patterson:]
In the quiet of my room
I gather up my thoughts and questions
Could I ever be like you?
Could I ever be a person, so real and so true?
It seems implausible
I look at my reflection
If only I could say
The things I never mention
The things you never knew
[Chorus - Jack Patterson:]
And I´d like to thank you for the human I´ve become
I´m sorry if I´ve let you down
I´m trying, I´m learning as I stumble along
To see this new world without your eyes
[Verse 1 - Lizzo:]
Once upon a time there was a girl who so much loved the world
She have her only begotten sunshine
And dried her stained eyes on a neck tie
Took the best lies made ´em truths
And spit sad soliloquies in the booth
Cause people think they know but they barely knew
The reality of what the other-siders do
But I´ve been there, I´ve learnt that
Seen a whole bunch of world and done came back
Got a reckoning for wrecking in my knapsack
´Bout to journey on foot through the outback
GRRRL PRTY is the label on my snapback
Doin´ worldwide shows in a black hat
´Bout to tell your ass a story so take that
Free prophecies from a black cat
[Verse 2 - Lizzo:]
Seen his demise with a pair of brand new eyes
It was sickening, guy
Never wanted to be stickin´ it to thickening thighs
But now he deeper than the secrets that he keep with a lie
"Mm, tastes good!" baby say with a cry
Now wait...
Thinkin´ about it too much, too much
Deepen the profit sooner, sooner
He never wanted to be a loser
But the bruises of losing is oozing through his fingers
The tips that like to brush at my hips
Is now at the hilt of a sword, Lord
On the battlefield, torn, sworn
To never think about another lover
Hopin´ he had time to recover but nothing´s ever easy
Beware the sting of queen bee (grr!)
[Chorus - Jack Patterson]
[Verse 3 - Lizzo:]
So many things in he I would like to be
Wiser, more light on my feet
I could look up in the mirror and change me
Or right over my shoulder and save me
Thinkin´ about back, back when, when I ain´t have nothing
Not a thing or a ring to my name
Now my feet in the game, knee deep, don´t speak
Feelin´ like Gwen Stefani in this thing
But I can´t complain cause we asked for this
Feelin´ like a workaholic or a masochist
Don´t call like I should like its sacrilege
To make a dollar in a dream into packed venues
Take a second, put your shield down
Laying down my sword, getting off the battlefield now
Makin´ bigger moves, bigger pictures in my view now
Get up out of my way I´ve got ammo for days, pow!
[Bridge - Lizzo:]
I can feel the weight of wars you´ve lost
They´re victories in my eyes
Every swing you take brings me closer and closer
Open the gates and I´m poised to charge
You told me we´d never get this far
Now we at the final round
There´s no way we´ll escape battle scars
Battle scars
[Chorus - Jack Patterson]
In the quiet of my room
I gather up my thoughts and questions
Could I ever be like you?
Could I ever be a person, so real and so true?
