THRIVE Lyrics by Emzae

All Those Things I Thought I Knew

2020

For all of the front
They're putting on
I know they're just like me
Confused with their lives
But on the outside
They're living the fantasy

We spend our time watching each other
Try to act normal but we suffer
Why is self love so damn hard to achieve

Chorus:
It makes no sense to me
Hating on yourself
Just because you're different to somebody else
You have all you need
So don't cry, take the lеad
Cause this is what it feels like to be free
This is what it feels likе to be
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be free

Been breaking my back
Wish I could relax
Don't know why I care so bad
It's almost as though
I'm scared to let go
Of something that I never had

Don't say you don't feel the tension
All the fake smiles and not to mention
Every ideal we try so hard to be

Chorus:
It makes no sense to me
Hating on yourself
Just because you're different to somebody else
You have all you need
So don't cry, take the lead
Cause this is what it feels like to be free
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be free

Spoken:
I'd rather be alone than out tonight
Don't mean to be rude but thanks, I'm alright
Said I'd rather be alone than out tonight
Give me the space to thrive

Step out from that bathroom cubicle
You have the strength so use it all
If you don't wanna be here say goodbye
Who said that you were born to live a lie?
Don't bow down to the usual
The fear that you carry isn't who you are
Who you are
Who you are

Chorus:
It makes no sense to me
Hating on yourself
Just because you're different to somebody else
You have all you need
So don't cry, take the lead
Cause this is what it feels like to be free
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be free
