Sounding Out Words

[Chorus]
You thought if I got what I wanted
I wouldn’t have a reason to need
Deep down I know there’s something
I can’t sound out, it’s under my teeth
So how did it go for you when you traded me in for someone else?
And when you look for me, you’ll find this version of yourself

[Verse]
Living life on the edge of a tightrope
You don’t gotta kick the chair
Soon enough I’ll meet you there
I'll Beat you there? No
There’s no winnin’
Winnin’ is leavin’
I’m livin’ aggressive
But passively leavin’
We are imperfect, but perfectly even
I’m not ready to set you free yet

[Pre-Chorus]
(Under the anger)
G-G-Got what I wanted-
(I just wanted to be loved)
G-G-Got what I wanted-
(Sounding out words)
G-G-Got what I wanted-
(It sounds unintelligible)
G-G-Got what I wanted-
(Impossible)

[Chorus]
You thought if I got what I wanted
I wouldn’t have a reason to need
Deep down I know there’s something
I can’t sound out, it’s under my teeth
So how did it go for you when you traded me in for someone else?
And when you look for me, you’ll find this version of yourself
