Xavier Dunn
Just a gimmick
[Verse 1]
I feel stupid, asking "am I what you want?"
I could be a different version, pass the textbook, I'll start learnin'
But to my face you say there's nothing you would change
But I hear all the whisperin', every single word stays lingerin'
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm never enough (Swear to God I've tried)
I'll never be who you want (Oh, I'm not doing fine)
[Chorus]
Messy, outdated
How long can I fake it?
Selfish, frustrating
Give me another label
I'm just a gimmick you can use when it's fitting
Useless, and jaded
I'm all these things but if I close my eyes
No, it don't exist
[Interlude]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
It's repeatin', overthinkin'
Have the same conversation with the ceilin'
If you really hate me can't you just cut me off clean?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm never enough (Swear to God I've tried)
I'll never be who you want (Oh, I'm not doing fine)
[Chorus]
Messy, outdated
How long can I fake it?
Selfish, frustrating
Give me another label
I'm just a gimmick you can use when it's fitting
Useless, and jaded
I'm all these things but if I close my eyes
No, it don't exist
I can't be the only one who feels like shit
[Bridge]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
How long can I fake it?
Ah, ah, ah, ah
I've gone until I've made it (I'm just a gimmick you can use when it's fitting)
How long can I fake it? (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I know you'll replace me
[Outro]
I feel stupid, asking "am I what you want?"
I know I'm not enough, guess I always knew that though
