Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No one ever said growing up that they wanna be a wannabe
Such controversy
No one ever said growing up that they'll never get it right
But that's life
So why you acting bitter?
Why you run your mouth?
Never mind the bollocks and this petty self-doubt
No one ever said growing up that they wanna be a wannabe
Do you wanna be?
[Chorus]
Tied up in knots
Panic in my thoughts
So bear with me
Bear with me
Nothing up my sleeve
No one here but me
Just bear with me
Bear with me
I'm a little letdown
Runnin' out of pages
Here's one for the ages
We gonna be okay 'cause I'm gonna save the day
So bear with me
Bear with me
[Verse 2]
No one ever said that you're pretty and you wouldn't have to work for a livin'
That's a given
And no one ever said that you wouldn't have to take a few licks, break a few bricks
So show me a space where everybody's safe, and I'll show you pigs that fly
And no one ever said growing up that they wanna be a wannabe, and I don't wanna be
[Bridge]
So where have all the poets gone, the ones who said it first?
And where are all the champions for better or for worse?
[Chorus]
They're tied up in knots
Penny for their thoughts
So bear with me
Bear with me
Nothing up my sleeve
No one here but me
Just bear with me
Bear with me
I'm a little letdown
Runnin' out of pages
Here's one for the ages
We gonna be okay 'cause I'm gonna save the day
So bear with me
Bear with me
[Bridge]
So where have all the poets gone, the ones who said it first?
And where are all the champions for better or for worse?
And where are all the titans who put lightning in a bottle?
They disappeared and left us here, and now we're on our own
[Chorus]
We're tied up in knots
Panic in our thoughts
So bear with me
Bear with me
Nothing up my sleeve
No one here but me
Just bear with me
Bear with me
I'm a little letdown
Runnin' out of pages
Here's one for the ages
We gonna be okay 'cause I'm gonna save the day
So bear with me
Bear with me
[Outro]
Bear with me
Bear with me
Bear with me
Bear with me
