Don't Tell Me What I Want to Hear Songtext
von THE WLDLFE

Sometimes I feel like I′m summer construction
Never useful for anything, just stuck in the way
Sometimes I feel like I'm a high school production
′Cause I'm still scared whenever I walk out on the stage

'Cause are they gonna laugh at me?
Will my words come out right?
Forever will I be lonely?
Or just for another night?

Mama, don′t tell me what I′m wanting to hear
Say that I'm fine like all of the time, but I′m still smellin' the fear
And I know I won′t always know what's bringin′ me down
Not always confident but I'm confident that I'll figure it out


Sometimes I feel like I, I′ve got it all wrong
′Cause no matter how hard I try, it just doesn't add up
Sometimes I′m just a scratcher from the nearest corner gas station
Waste of my last dollar because I'm fresh out of luck

Swear they′re gonna laugh at me
Do my words come out right?
And even if I get lucky
It'll be only tonight

Mama, don′t tell me what I'm wanting to hear
Say that I'm fine like all of the time, but I′m still smellin′ the fear
And I know I won't always know what′s bringin' me down
Not always confident but I′m confident that I'll figure it out
Not always confident but I′m confident that I'll figure it out
