Lyrics:
When I feel like a nobody
you say nobody’s perfect
you say nobody’s worth should be numbered
But I count the freckles on your skin
Every detail deepens
When we breathe together under covers
It’s never felt like this before
Don’t wanna hide out anymore
I confess, I’m a mess
I have issues to undress
Baby, help me express myself again
Make it last, put me first
Shake the champagne til it bursts
Baby, please away my reasons to pretend
Unsaid forces holding me
Pressures and repression
The girl that feared rejection if she ain’t screaming
I learnt to love from magazines
But every time I faked
I would lie awake while he’s dreaming
Baby I get paralysed by love
But in all that we have made
I can still move my lips to say...
