Amy Shark

I grew up in a small house

Near a cemetery, you 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, its getting late

I've been outside all day

On the 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

And you should see the shows I play

And hear them sing the words I say

I wonder sometimes if you're 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
