[Verse 1]
What if I never told you my name?
What if we hadn't leaned in to touch?
What if my life didn't end up this way? (Would I be set on fire?)
What if I could be someone you love? (Would I be happy now?)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I had a motorbike
Would only wanna race it (Would only wanna race it)
I wish that you could make me smile
'Cause I can't even fake it (No, I don't wanna fake it)
Fake it, fake it, fake it, fake it
[Chorus]
So don't let the neighbourhood hear
Just how fucked up it's got in here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
"Am I not good enough?"
So don't let thе neighbourhood hear
Just how fucked up it's got in hеre
Screaming at the top of our lungs
"Am I not good enough?"
[Post-Chorus]
Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
Am I not good enough to be loved by you? (To be loved by you)
[Verse 2]
What if I drew your mouth open wide?
What if you loose up, let me inside?
What if generations made you discrete? (What if I do, what if I don't)
What if we end up doing the same? (Uh, shut up)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I had a motorbike
Would only wanna race it (Would only wanna race it)
I wish that you could make me smile
'Cause I can't even fake it (Nah, I don't wanna fake it)
Fake it, fake it, fake it (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I said, don't let the neighbourhood hear
Just how fucked up it's got in here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
"Am I not good enough?"
Don't let the neighbourhood hear
Just how fucked up it's got in here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
"Am I not good enough?"
[Post-Chorus]
Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
[Outro]
You gave me all of the dark that I got
But I would never dare to give up
You put my hopes in the back of a box
But I would never dare to give up
You told me everything's gonna fuck up
But I would never dare to give up
Give up on you
Give up on me
Woo!
