Amy Shark

I grew up in a small house

Near a cemetery

Could hear them howl

As they lower the ones they love in the ground

I pulled out my old baby teeth

The pain never seemed to bother me

I made friends with the kids down the street

I better go it's getting late

I've been outside all day

on the walk home, work out what I'll say

And I still lose it every now and then

In an interview, or a photoshoot

I could be halfway through a show

And it all comes creeping in

And I've sacrificed all my friends

Birthdays, weddings, everything

And it's heartbreaking but this is my dream

And I did it all without a phone call

Or a Christmas card, you have no heart

This is my way of saying don't start

You should see the shows I play

And hear them sing the words I say

I wonder some times if you are in the crowd

Cause I needed help, I needed love

I need care needed a hug

I needed praise, I needed time with you

And it plays on my mind, all the time, all the time

I wanna love you but I need you to try

And I still lose it every now and then

In an interview, or a photoshoot

I could be halfway through a show

And it all comes creeping in

And I've sacrificed all my friends

Birthdays, weddings, everything

And it's heartbreaking but this is my dream

And I did it all without a phone call

Or a Christmas card, you have no heart

This is my way of saying don't start

Don't start now I'm winning

And finally happy

Don't start now I've done all the years of hard work

Don't start taking over

And asking favours

Please just don't start now that I'm Amy Shark
