The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What if I never told you my name?
What if we hadn't leaned in to touch?
What if my life didn't end up this way? (Would I be set on fire?)
What if I could be someone you love? (Would I be happy now?)
I wish I had a motorbike
Would only wanna race it (would only wanna race it)
I wish that you could make me smile
'Cause I can't even fake it (no, I don't wanna fake it)
Fake it, fake it, fake it, fake it
So don't let the neighbourhood hear
Just how fucked up it's got in here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
Am I not good enough?
So don't let thе neighbourhood hear
Just how fucked up it's got in hеre
Screaming at the top of our lungs
Am I not good enough?
Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
Am I not good enough to be loved by you? (to be loved by you)
What if I drew your mouth open wide?
What if you loose up, let me inside?
What if generations made you discrete? (What if I do, what if I don't)
What if we end up doing the same? (Uh, shut up)
I wish I had a motorbike
Would only wanna race it (would only wanna race it)
I wish that you could make me smile
'Cause I can't even fake it (nah, I don't wanna fake it)
Fake it, fake it, fake it (yeah)
I said, don't let the neighbourhood hear
Just how fucked up it's got in here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
Am I not good enough?
Don't let the neighbourhood hear
Just how fucked up it's got in here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
Am I not good enough?
Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
You gave me all of the dark that I got
But I would never dare to give up
You put my hopes in the back of a box
But I would never dare to give up
You told me everything's gonna fuck up
But I would never dare to give up
Give up on you
Give up on me
Woo!
