Four million people in this town - still feels like you own me,
Like I’m under your thumb.
Hunching my shoulders, I creep round
I’ll never get lonely - you’re here to make me feel dumb.
Is it forward motion when I’m trying to get closer to you -
Are my bearings in line?
Not sure what I’m hoping for or where I’m going, but
I just say I’m doing fine.
One minute’s stillness weighs me down - not sure what I’ve outgrown yet,
No time to see where I’ve gone.
My best intentions run aground: if I can’t help you, I’m helpless -
You’re weak to make me feel strong.

Let you off the hook again, but real forgiveness still eludes me -
I'll wait for things to settle down I guess.
No harsh words, I say it's fine, but I don't feel that all the time -
I push it down, I just want us to stay friends.
I chose this, I closed my lips: complicit in my own retreat,
I'm guilty cos I know I've been hiding in my softness
hiding in my softness.
If I tell you honestly, will you still be here when I'm finished?
If I knew then maybe I'd confess.
Everything in its right place - no, I don't like this situation:
Guess I just like confrontation less.
I chose this, I closed my lips: complicit in my own retreat,
I'm guilty cos I know I've been hiding in my softness
hiding in my softness.

When you can't see me, I'm misguidedly shut up here in my head:
inventing new hopes to hurt myself with,
uncurling my inherent worth - to measure it - and finding it falls short.
I have been a choir of sad voices, but aren't we all?
