lyrics

Half-cut and in quite a state,
it's not the first time I've mistaken me for someone else,
and this is part confessional:
the confidence is parcel and a part of someone else.

A mantra underneath your breath:
if it's attention that you want my dear, well attention you shall get.
In disbelief and doubt and stress,
there's so little comfort in these things that we confess.

The mandate is for better love:
in better homes with better houses, fathers and the like.
And I can take that second shove,
a breakdown and a weekend and a doo-wop part you like.

A mantra underneath your breath:
if it's attention that you want my dear, well attention you shall get.
I am never second-best,
but by design I'm yours, I sign off every last request.
A mantra underneath your breath,
if you hate yourself, well that's about as sad as I expect.
But don't you ever second-guess
the nasal whine, the country voice that you hide in your chest.
