I've been going on a mission
For a crown that has been mine
Always got crippled by the doubt on the inside
Never play it safe, to be prouder of this life
You'll get much further if you down to be disliked
Never take a stand, and you reckon it's a luxury
When I get to doing it, you definitely judgin' me
So concerned with what other people think
The opinions that you hold are dependent on your company
Being authentic is the way to the soul
To do it unapologetically is making you whole
But you got people around you thinking they know best
If it's really your life, start taking control
But you always on the run, now I think I understand why
Time to man up, get yourself a damn spine
But the truth in this climate's a landmine
Making all your views seem impossible to stand by
So you think about this every day
But it's something you won't entertain, you feel a sense of shame
Say the truth, you'll be sent to stage
Say too much, and you get sent away, so now there's less to say
Hide everything you feeling beneath
Only sharing with your misses what you longing to make
You never telling them the shit that you really believe
But only ever what they want you to say
If they don't
Like the way
You think that much, then you should
Tell them all to fuck themselves
And if you
Think that I'm
Still holding on to something
You could go and fuck yourself
Now, you know that
Being you is a place that you're rarely gonna go
You keep it to yourself 'cause you scared to rock the boat
Disagreeing with them all, unaware of where to go
Because you used to agree, now there's areas you don't
So you say you're on the fence or don't know what to think
Deep down, it's just something you won't go and admit
Anytime that you did, had 'em throwin' a fit
And that smoke of the shit is what you hope to resist
If you went scorched earth, you'd go longer in life
But you crippled by the notion you've got to be liked
You don't care if it's wrong, you gotta be right
I know you probably never gonna, but I want you to try
To go set a new code you can live your life by
Can't see clearly when you live in hindsight
Work on yourself just to get your mind right
And show 'em that there's no more Mr Nice Guy
You shoulda done this yesterday
So go and get it off your chest today or feel a sense of shame
Say the truth, you'll be sent to stage
Say too much, and you get sent away, so now there's less to say
Saying everything you feeling beneath
Being unapologetic is a quality trait
Start telling them the shit that you really believe
And go fuck what they want you to say
If they don't
Like the way
You think that much, then you should
Tell them all to fuck themselves
And if you
Think that I'm
Still holding on to something
You could go and fuck yourself
Everything you think, you overthunk
Thoughts make your head spin till you throw 'em up, fend off
Everybody that you can and, keep it arm's length 'cause
You're worried that your old girls know too much
Playing so defensive that you can't rebound
Put up all the walls until you can't see out
I know you wanna party and fuck till success
But you can't have a house, and forget the tea towels
I know you're not used to it yet
You got some losing to do before you can do it your best
Believe that you are the man, uh
I just had dinner in loafers, I used to shoe-goo the Vans
And that's wear from all the roads I've run
And friends I left behind
Now, my phone's riddled with texts
I never read with no reply
I wrote this verse to
My old self so we could talk again
Make sure you love your heart
And trust your gut, it's starting to make sense
Go and tell them all the
Things you know you really do believe
And go and fuck the things
They want you to say
If they don't
Like the way
You think that much, then you should
Tell them all to fuck themselves
And if you
Think that I'm
Still holding on to something
You could go and fuck yourself
