Lyrics

I’ve been a hundred different people
I’ve lived a hundred different lives
Just trying to find my way to normal
But I’m starting to realise
I can’t be the
Crowd pleaser
Just to keep this thing alive
So I’m quitting
Shape shifting
I’m ready for me to arrive
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’ve moved each piece of the puzzle
I’ve tried my best to make them fit
The more I try, the more I struggle
And there’s always one piece gone amiss
I can’t be the
Crowd pleaser
Just to keep this thing alive
So I’m quitting
Shape shifting
I’m ready for me to arrive
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I can’t be the
Crowd pleaser
Just to keep this thing alive
So I’m quitting
Shape shifting
I’m ready for me to arrive
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
I’m not pretending anymore
