The Nest

I grew up not wanting to be different

My brothers told me that I should be

I should try and keep my British accent

So I could be different and that is a good thing

I grew up with people all around me

But music never ran in our veins

My brothers never told me I would make it

But they were still proud of me all the same

I wanted to be like all the rest

Yeah, I wanted to blend into the nest

But it left me lonely

'Cause I'm made of something else

But my brothers told me

Just be true to yourself

Tried to find some common ground, there's nothing

I never went to university

Maybe I should study history or something

But I always had a songbird on my sleeve

Everybody’s overanalyzing

Talking about my future with some doubt

My brothers told me I should keep my accent

Sister, you were born to stand out

But I wanted to be like all the rest

Yeah, I wanted to blend into the nest

But it left me lonely

'Cause I'm made of something else

But my brothers told me

Just be true to yourself

And I wanted to be like all the rest

Yeah, I wanted to blend into the nest

But it left me lonely

'Cause I'm made of something else

But my brothers told me

Just be true to yourself

My brothers never told me I would make it

But they were still proud of me all the same
