(Intro)
  

[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, 

            
really, really

        
 fucking 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

             
ne now I'm alo

 
ne
             
 Constantly to

              
ld stories wit

    
h a stretch of

 the truth
        
Trying hard to

              
 make memories

              
 to remember f

    
rom 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 priorit

              
ise the things

        
 in your life
              
The things tha

              
t you hope to 


do?

  'Cause if no

t then
            
Mate you'd bet

        
ter trust me w

hen I tell you

 that

It's not worth forgetting about yourself

[Outro]
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 she loves is herself
