The More I Am Lyrics by Floodlights

The More I Am / Overflowing Cup

2021

[Verse 1]
I awoke today
And refused to step aside
I'm a harsh judge
I'll put you down, but it's all for your own good
I'm not a cynic and I'm not that cruel
I just don’t need a lot of things
But even I must say
That my grim outlook is wearing thin
The more vindictive, the less I grin
[Chorus]
I don't have to
I don't have to
I don't have to see this way
I don't have to
I don't have to
But I do it anyway
[Verse 2]
I awoke again
And looked on through from the other side
A song played aloud
It made me smile and cry, all at once
I stepped aside, I helped, I talked
And waved at every passer-by
I have a lot of moods
But I'm the best when I hold true
And relish all the good things that I do
[Chorus]
I don't have to
I don't have to
I don't have to see this way
I don't have to
I don't have to
But I do it anyway
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I don't have to
I don't have to
I don't have to see this way
I don't have to
I don't have to
But I do it anyway
