Show Don’t Tell

If he’s gonna save ya, you wanna keep him around
If she’s gonna sacrifice herself, she’s sound as a pound
But if he’s just a white knight, with words of sweetness oh
Chances are he’s faking, hiding something from you, oh

Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!

Don’t tell me how to be good, I don’t need lessons from you
The shiny words from your mouth don’t synchronise with your truth, oh
Cos if you need a high five, for not being a douche
You made it about yourself again, so tell that fool to vamoose! Oh!

Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!

I’m not gonna waste my time
Talking to a waste of time
If you have to explain your holiness baby
You ain’t going near my loving kind
Cos that’s not kind

Show don’t tell!
Show don’t tell!
Show don’t tell!

Every time you seek love, it’s one step closer to hell
Cos checking on your neighbour, is a reward in itself oh!
Cos no one likes a white knight, who only thinks of himself
Listen to your heart my friend, it’s saying show don’t tell

Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!
