Late Thursday autumn, third in the circle
'Bout to play for a crowd of only my friends
And from beside, I scanned it half in, too
Guess they had better things to do
I'll take the free shot and put on a show
And more in the back, a million to go
I can't believe how long I've been doing this
Screaming until somebody notices
Thriving, how am I'll lose it?
Ask myself, why do I do it?
I don't wanna divert this music inside of me
Don't want to cut me open, I know I would only bleed melody
I don't wanna die yet, I try and I don't succeed
Don't want to cut me open, I know I would only bleed melody
Paid all my dues and still have my dad's left
Honestly, hope my parents are proud of
Flirting with the idea of giving up
'Cause doing what you love shouldn't hurt so much
So I keep waiting the feelings until I'm empty
I want them dreaming and pleading, that shit got heavy
Tell myself I'm bitter, hoping you won't forget me
Forget me, eeh-eeh
And what have I proven?
Ask myself, why do I do it?
I don't wanna divert this music inside of me
Don't want to cut me open, I know I would only bleed melody
I don't wanna die yet, I try and I don't succeed
Don't want to cut me open, I know I would only bleed melody
I don't wanna divert this music inside of me
Don't want to cut me open, I know I would only bleed
I don't wanna divert this music inside of me
Don't want to cut me open, I know I would only bleed
(You can fail at what you don't want
So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love)
