Second Act

[Verse 1]
I made a list of the people who left
And swore up and down that they would come back
It was the length of my body twice over
And over, they told me the distance would make me grow stronger

[Chorus]
But mother, don't worry
Tell your people we're coming back
It's not that easy
Why does everyone always leave me?

[Post-Chorus]
Wasting away
I'm never coming back
Haven't you said
I need a second act?
I'm never coming back
I won't look back
I'm never coming back

[Verse 2]
If finding yourself is something that matters
Well, ask me again and I'll tell you just who you are
It won't cost anything except your loyalty
Why don't you promise me?

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll try not to worry
Every time is a compromise
It's not that easy
Why does everyone always leave me?

[Chorus]
But mother, don't worry
Tell your people we're coming back, coming back
It's not that easy
Why does everyone always leave me?

[Post-Chorus]
Wasted away
I'm never coming back
Haven't you said
I need a second act?
I'm never coming back
I won't look back
I'm never coming back

[Chorus]
But mother, don't worry
Tell your people we're coming back, coming back
It's not that easy
Why does everyone always leave me?

[Outro]
But mother, don't worry
Try not to worry
I made a list of the people who left
