[Verse 1]

I've been running for a lifetime

One hand searching for the door

The other's searching for a lifeline

And keeps dragging along the floor

[Pre-Chorus]

You set the tone, I try it on

Try to make it mine

Now I'm anxious all the time

Wanna make you proud

Nothing's good enough

I can't keep it up

I can't help it

[Chorus]

I'm so tired of feeling sorry

Count my blessings and pretend it's all I want

I'm tired of being lovely

Of keeping myself small to keep you 'round

Tired of being sorry

[Verse 2]

Bending backwards just to please you

Predicting outcomes in my room

But nothing kills me more than safety

Nothing breaks me morе than rules

[Pre-Chorus]

You set the tonе

I tried it on

Tried to make it mine

But I'm anxious all the time

Wanna make you proud

But it's not good enough

I can't keep it up

I can't help it

[Chorus]

I'm so tired of feeling sorry

Count my blessings and pretend it's all I want

I'm tired of being lovely

Of keeping myself small to keep you 'round

Tired of being sorry

[Bridge]

And I don't want to be someone who looks back at their life

Wishing they'd said no and wasted all this time

I wanna be someone who's graceful, fair and kind

But not because I need to

[Chorus/Outro]

I'm so tired of feeling sorry

Count my blessings and pretend it's all I want

I'm tired of being lovely

Of keeping myself small to keep you 'round

I'm so tired of feeling sorry

Count my blessings and pretend it's all I want

I'm tired of being lovely

Of keeping myself small to keep you 'round

I'm tired of feeling sorry
