[Verse 1]
Say what you want
Don’t feel bad about it
Sacrifice the sound it makes
But if you catch me now, then there really is nothing to say
[Chorus 1]
I don’t know why but I’m crying
I’m crying
I’m crying
I don’t know why but I’m crying
I’m crying
I’m crying
[Verse 2]
Say what you want
Don’t feel bad about it
Sacrifice the sound it makes
But if you catch me now, then there really is nothing to say
[Chorus 2]
I don’t know why but I’m crying
I’m crying
I’m crying
He sees me now and he’s smiling
He’s smiling
He’s smiling
[Bridge]
Ahhh, ohh ahhh
Ahhh, ohh ahhh
Ahhh, ohh ahhh
Ahhh, ohh ahhh
[Chorus 3]
I don’t know why but I’m crying
I’m crying
I’m crying
A heart full of love, they’re not paying
They’re saving
How much is the rent tonight, and is there room for me?

[Verse 1]
Hey, where you going? Are you going to stay?
You got a whole lot of money, but you still won't pay
Yeah, I wanna tell you that I’m just very scared
‘Cause I’m apparently too old to have
Monsters under my bed, maybe they’re in my head
[Chorus]
But I, I feel like
I’m going to explode
But I, I don’t mind
But hey
I said no!
[Verse 2]
Hey, where you going, if it’s okay to ask?
Oh, did you do your homework at the back of the class?
Yeah, I wanna tell you that I’m just very scared
‘Cause I’m apparently too old to have
Stuff going on in my head, maybe they’re in my bed
[Chorus]
But I, I feel like
I’m going to explode
But I, I don’t mind
But hey
I said no!

Oooh oooh oooh

[Verse 1]
And then I jump right in
And I really don’t know
And I really don’t care
But it just goes to show you that
I don’t really know what to say
And that’s enough for today and I
Don’t really know, I mean
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’m good at walking
Sweet talking
I gotta find a way or you’ll see me sulking now
I’m good looking
Side swooping
Heads turning now and I don’t really know my
[Chorus]
Name!
Oh man, I don’t really know my name!
Oh man, I think I forgot my name!
Oh no, I don’t really know my name!
[Verse 2]
So then I jump right in
And I really don’t know
And I really don’t care
But it just goes to show you that
I don’t really know what to say
And that’s enough for today and I
I don’t really know, I mean
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’m good at walking
Sweet talking
I gotta find a way or you’ll see me sulking now
Tough sicko
Black widow
Heads turning now and I don’t really know my
[Chorus]
Name!
Oh man, I don’t really know my name!
Oh man, I think I forgot my name!
Oh no, I don’t really know my name!
[Outro]
I do not fit in
With your big clique
‘Cause mine is too far down the line
To make you change your mind
I mean that’s
All very good
But have you got the time?
I do not fit in
With your big clique
‘Cause mine is too far down the line
To make you change your mind
I mean that’s
All very good
But have you got the time?

[Verse 1]
Goodbye my friend
This is the end
So watch me pack my things and go
What a shame your mind became my other home
Even though I’m hurt, oh boy you’d never know
And the things once felt inside will never
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Show!
I feel my heart sing
The fingerprints on my skin say
[Chorus 1]
Don’t come back to me
I am more than you and I could ever be
And my eyes pump tears of grey into the sea
So stand tall and say
[Verse 2]
Goodbye
Every time this happens, I get small inside
And your memory just makes me want to cry
You’re the one who hurt me the most
Yet I hide behind you
I feel strange without you
I feel strange without -
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You can go on now
I’ll meet someone who tears my soul down
[Chorus 2]
Oh, just come back to me
Rewind time and meet again in other feet
Every time, I just want to happily
Live on
[Chorus 3]
Is this the song
That I write now that I feel I’ve split in two?
And when we play this live, you’ll know it’s about you
Break my limbs, so I can turn into
Someone new

[Intro]
You don’t need to shout all the time
To prove you’re cool
You don’t need a pantomime
To know the truth
And I don’t need a couple of rhymes
To say I’m you
And darling, you think you’re fine
Oh, but you’re not brand new!
Oh!
[Verse 1]
He walks through a town in a daydream
With three layers of rolled-up sleeves
Sunglasses on so you can’t see
He’s everything you want to be, oh!
[Chorus 1]
See their lights!
Oh, see their smiles!
And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all!
[Post-Chorus]
See their lights!
Oh, see their smiles!
And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all!
[Verse 2]
You don’t know where you are or where you’ve been
But still little kid, they expect you to know who to be
A memory test
And a few bank notes
And they’ll trap you forever unless you know
[Chorus 2]
You’re not my type
If you know what I like
Then you can get inside
But you’ll be really nothing at all
[Bridge]
You don’t need to shout all the time
To prove you’re cool
I don’t need a pantomime
To know the truth
And I don’t need a couple of rhymes
To say I’m you
And darling, you think you’re fine
Oh, but you’re not brand new!
[Chorus 3]
Oh, see their lights!
Oh, see their smiles!
And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all!

[Verse 1]
There was a pretty little picture on the wall
And it turned around and said
“I gave you much, I’ll give you all
If that’s how you want to play”
I said no, oh
Is anybody gonna make me change my mind?
I said no!
I’m the only one who’s gonna leave change behind
[Chorus]
She said
“Do what you wanna do
Say what you wanna say
Life is very short and you’re gonna die anyway
You might as well take a chance and do the things
You’ve always wanted to
Do what you wanna do
Say what you wanna say
Life is very short, it’s gonna end anyway
You might as well try and break the mould
You don’t know what happens
The story’s untold”
[Verse 2]
There was a pretty little picture on your face
And it turned around and said
“You might as well save the human race
With the things that are in your head”
I said no, oh
Nobody’s gonna make me change my mind
I said no!
I’m the only one that’s gonna leave ch-ch-ch-change behind
[Chorus]
She said
“Do what you wanna do
Say what you wanna say
Life is very short and you’re gonna die anyway
You might as well take a chance and do the things
You’ve always wanted to
Do what you wanna do
Say what you wanna say
Life is very short, it’s gonna end anyway
You might as well try and break the mould
You don’t know what happens
The story’s untold”
[Outro]
(Oh woah, wo-o-oah
Oo-oo-oo-oooh
Woah oh oh oh, oh oa-a-ah)
Oh, I said!
Do what you wanna do!
Do what you wanna do!
Do what you wanna do
And say what you
You wanna say!
Do what you wanna do
And say what you
You wanna say!
