THE WLDLFE
Don’t Tell Me What I Want To Hear
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

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

Momma don’t tell me what I’m wanting to hear
You say that I’m fine like all of the time
But I’m still smelling the fear
And I know I won’t always know what’s bring me down
I’m not always confident, but I’m confident that I’ll figure it out

Sometimes I feel like I’ve got it all wrong
Cause no matter how hard I try it just doesn’t add up

Sometime I’m just a scratcher from the nearest corner gas station
A waste of my last dollar because I’m fresh out of luck

I swear they’re gonna laugh at me
Do my words come out right?
And even if I get luck
It’ll be only tonight

Momma don’t tell me what I’m wanting to hear
You say that I’m fine like all of the time
But I’m still smelling the fear
And I know I won’t always know what’s bring me down
I’m not always confident, but I’m confident that I’ll figure it out
