[Verse 1]
It was the best of times
When you would enjoy my vines
But now we still nod our heads
But you wait with baited breath for me
Me to change my mind about
All the things I like and you
You just wanted to be loved
Will we make it through?

[Pre-Chorus]
We've been ticking like a time bomb
I can't remember where we've come from
What can I say to make you see

[Chorus]
That all I really want is me
All I really want is me
And I confess it's me I fought for
All I really want is me
Little me

[Verse 2]
I take my first breath in months
And realise what you had done to me
With my shoulders and head down
Breathe out a sigh of relief
For all the times I've felt so low
Small and so inadequate
Giving up on my defence
But I'm never again

[Pre-Chorus]
We've been ticking like a time bomb
I can't remember where we've come from
What can I say to make you see

[Chorus]
That all I really want is me
All I really want is me
And I confess it's me I fought for
All I really want is me
Little me

[Bridge]
We've been faced with ultimatums, expectations
What's your problem with my generation?
Soft, indulgent, passive, lazy
What about me makes you nervous
My voice rests under my shirt
Is it the way we love ourselves so deep?
Why is it so hard to believe?

[Chorus]
That all I really want is me
All I really want is me
Yeah, yeah
And I confess it's me I fought for (fought for)
All I really want is me

That all I really want is me (I want is, I want is)
All I really want is me (I want is, I want is, want is)
And I confess it's me I fought for (it's me I fought for)
Little me
