Living up to Me (Bonus Track) Lyrics by Beth McCarthy

Self Portrait

2019

[Verse 1]
I'm a caged bird
You're all coloured fancy, fantasy
But I'm a dreamer
Just wondering what it would be, to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
They all know my name but they don't know it's jaded
What if I'm not all they say?
[Chorus]
If I were a lover
Do you think that I'd be loved?
If I were a painter
Would pictures be enough?
If I were the first man on the moon
Would I make it back to earth too soon?
They say believe, they don't see
That it's not all it seems, living up to me
[Verse 2]
You're the joy
That I can't seem to run from, run from
And I'm sorry
If I can't be someone you thought I was
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause they all know my name but they don't know I'm jaded
What if I'm not all they say?
[Chorus]
If I were a lover
Do you think that I'd be loved?
If I were a painter
Would pictures be enough?
If I were the first man on the moon
Would I make it back to earth too soon?
They say believe, they don't see
That it's not all it seems, living up to me
Ooo oh
[Bridge]
And I'm not tryna be the girl
That has the world lay at her feet
All I see is the concrete
And that's all I need
[Chorus]
I were a lover
Think that I'd be loved?
If I were a painter
Pictures be enough?
If I were the first man on the moon
Would I make it back to earth too soon?
They say believe, they don't see
It's not all it seems
They say believe, they don't see
That I don't wanna be living up to me
