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 own 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
I'ma 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 sometimes if you are in the crowd
'Cause I needed help, I needed love
I needed care, I 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 for favours
Please just don't start now that I'm Amy Shark
