yes, that's taylor swift above. i love her acoustic rendition of ' i don't want to live forever' sm. this song that i wrote needs no explanation. lyrics say it all tbh. i hope you enjoy <33
1ST VERSE:
a different generation
an alternate perspective
maybe so
think of it as recreation
it's my amendment
you ought to know
i want to roam through the stages
call it reckless
but i live for the show
i'm scared to let you down
you're unaware i'm stressing it out
in 2 or 3 years, i'll be gone now
somewhere in my whereabouts
singing to the crowds
you'll disapprove
i know you will
but i'm not you
i won't sit still
i have to go
CHORUS:
at the first look
it's always your rules
from your book
say, won't you walk in my shoes
see what you put me through
say, won't you?
oh, won't you?
2ND VERSE:
walk in them for a mile
make my state of mind worth your while
stay at least for the first trail
pick my thoughts from the shelf
in the critical aisle is all you tend to do
you know i love you
but you've never understood
music is my hook
my all, my life
you ought to accept it sometime
CHORUS:
at the first look
it's always your rules
from your book
say, won't you walk in my shoes
see what you put me through
say, won't you?
why won't you?
BRIDGE:
i know, it's a lot to take in
keep calm, stay breathing
this is the path i choose to take
sure, they'll be mistakes
but it's my life, not yours
and there's nothing i'd want more
than to see my lyrics up in display
right up on the big stage
even if i never make it
at least i tried
it's better than living a lie
even if it's wrong
this is what i want
i'm sorry i can't be what you want
CHORUS:
it'll be my first look
in the real world
i'll see how it goes
fast pace; take it slow
i have my rules
i love the view
i wish you could've seen it too
i wish you could've been proud
like you used to be of me
i'm sorry i couldn't be
who you wanted me to be
OUTRO:
at least i tried
it's better than living a lie
even if it's wrong
this is what i want
and i can never be
who you wanted me to be
for that, i'm sorry
