[Verse 1]
         
Always felt li

              
ke I needed to

  
 please her, o

r impress her
        
Though only in

              
 the hope that

              
 one day I wou

               
ld undress her

Don't be offen

ded
            
You think I'm 

              
'bout to tell 

             
you that "I lo


ve you"
              
But I really r

              
eally really f

        
ucking don't
   
See the months

 of obsession
             
And crying for

 
 hours
           
I even started

       
 sitting down 

            
in the shower,


 girl
              
I'll take my t

         
ime on my own
             
And I'll be fi

[Verse 2]
    
Constantly tol

              
d stories with

      
 a stretch of 

the truth
        
Trying hard to

   
 make memories

    
 to re - membe

                
r from youth
         
Desperately wa

              
nting you to b

   
e interested t

oo
          
It's not clear


 what I need y

et
              
But it's clear

      
 it's not you
              
Here's what I'

         
d say to any y

              
oung man that'

             
s still intere

  
sted in you
           
 Do you priori

              
tise the thing

               
s in your life
           
The things tha

             
t you hope to 

   
do
Cause if not then
              
Mate you'd bet

hen I tell you

    
 that
              
It's not worth

              
 forgetting ab

            
out yourself
Because of one fucking girl
         
She may seem p

              
erfect, and go

            
rgeous, and lo

           
vely
     
You'll think s

he likes you
       
I mean I thoug

         
ht she loved m

e, no
     
But no
              
Neither of us 

              
will get down 

         
from the shelf
              
The only one s

              
he loves is he
