Zero Lyrics by Maisie Peters

2017

[Verse 1]
I’m starting from zero
I’m starting from scratch
Thought I’d finally grown up
Seems that I’m just growing back
People tell you you'll learn from mistakes that you make
But I just keep on breaking 'em again and again
I just wanted to please everybody at once
But I can’t stand confrontation, rather cut it and run
And I see now I should’ve stuck it out and explained
Hindsight’s a bitch for coming way too late
I used to be able to say it wasn’t me
Used to be able to say it wasn't me

[Chorus]
So I’ve got a loaded gun
And I seem to fire it just for kicks
'Cause I miss every time, I just hit you
And I guess I should’ve read the manual that I came with
'Cause now I’m just taking out my friends
I’m just taking 'em all down
I was just takin 'em all down

[Verse 2]
I was burning through bridges like a child with a flame
Setting fire to everything in a twenty-meter range
I think I need a signpost so you’d all understand
I’m a tryer, but my fire sometimes gets out of hand
'Cause once I start I just can’t seem to stop
So I run my mouth and watch my friends run off

[Chorus]
So I’ve got a loaded gun
And I seem to fire it just for kicks
'Cause I miss every time, I just hit you
And I guess I should’ve read the manual that I came with
'Cause now I’m just taking out my friends
I’m just taking 'em all --

[Post-Chorus]
Down deep inside I know that I am better than this train-wreck hot-head who should’ve listened when her mum said, "Won’t you think about what you’re saying?
"Mais, this ain't a game you’re good at playing
You’re too afraid of hurting feelings
To be good at playing people in the first place"
I was just taking them all down

[Bridge]
I’m starting from zero, gonna try put it right
I know when I take a step
I’m always two steps behind
Blame the education system for putting junk in my head
Fills up all of the space, leaves no room for clear sense
They taught me spelling and arithmetic
I wish that they’d taught me how to not be such a ... horrible person

[Chorus]
So I’ve got a loaded gun
And I seem to fire it just for kicks
'Cause I miss every time I just hit you
And I guess I should’ve read the manual that I came with
'Cause now I’m just taking out my friends
Oh, I’m just taking 'em all --

[Post-Chorus]
Down deep inside I know that I am better than this train-wreck hot-head who should’ve listened when her mum said, "Won’t you think about what you’re saying?
"Mais, this ain't a game you’re good at playing
You’re too afraid of hurting feelings
To be good at playing people in the first place"
