Words (Live At The Sydney Opera House) Lyrics by Kate Miller-Heidke, Sydney Symphony Orchestra

Live At The Sydney Opera House

2017

[Verse 1]
Are these words working, do they work for you?
Is there something wrong between us?
Is there something I can do?
Is there some way I can take back all the times you threw away?
Been burning up the decade when you should've seized the day
I wonder why you're talking 'cause you're talking all the time
Will you ever get the message and just leave it all behind?
The conversation's trivial but trivial is fine
When held up to the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you think my personality
Is written in stone?
Are you positively certain
That you know what you've been shown?
I'm but a snapshot of the person
That you think I ought to be
Now give it up, give it up, give it up
[Chorus]
I've been the leader, I've been the follower
I've been the dreamer, I've been the wallower
I take the high road, I take the low road
I don't wanna be your mother
I've been down, boys, I've been down, boys
Been right to the top
When you hear me coming you can hear a pin drop
[Verse 2]
Didn't mean to be annoying, didn't mean to make a mess
Never meant to cast a shadow but it's leading me to stress
The shrapnel from your heart is buried in my chest
But it's not all me
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you think my personality
Is written in stone?
Are you positively certain
That you know what you've been shown?
I'm a snapshot of the person
That you think I ought to be
Now give it up, give it up, give it up
[Chorus]
I've been the leader, I've been the follower
I've been the dreamer, I've been the wallower
I take the high road, I take the low road
I don't wanna be your mother
I've been down, boys, I've been down, boys
Been right to the top
When you hear me coming you can hear a pin drop
[Bridge]
La da da
La da da
La da da da da da doh doh
La da da
La da da
La da da da da da doh doh
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Ooh, I've been the leader, I've been the follower
I've been the dreamer, I've been the wallower
I take the high road, I take the low road
I don't wanna be your mother
I've been down, boys, I've been down, boys
Been right to the top
When you hear me coming you can hear a pin drop
Oh
[Outro]
La da da
La da da
La da da da da da doh doh
La da da
La da da
La da da da da da doh doh
I've been the leader, I've been the follower
Oh, I've been the leader, I've been the follower
Ooh
