Maisie Peters
The List
[Verse 1]
Oh, I, have a hobby of pickin' myself apart
Leavin’ people I love waitin' in the dark
And, sometimes, when I want to cry, I laugh
It's kind of funny
Oh, and, this October, I went falling off the edge
All of London must have heard the things I said
Put your hand up if I let you down again, mm

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a list of things that I should stop
List of things that I should stop
List of things that I should not be doin' but I do 'em
It's a pattern that I got

[Chorus]
I need to stop my excuses and have a real conversation
Need to look in the mirror, stop findin' things that need changin'
Need to stop gettin' drunk to avoid the situation
I need to stop letting myself down

[Post-Chorus]
I'll try something that I’ve not before
And like myself a little more now

[Verse 2]
Oh, I, I’ve got an attic full of damage in my mind
I box it up, say I'll deal with it another night
And I have a problem lookin’ people in the eye
Isn't that funny?
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a list of things that I should stop
List of things that I should stop
List of things that I should not be doin' but I do ’em
It's a pattern that I got

[Chorus]
I need to stop my excuses and have a real conversation
Need to look in the mirror, stop findin' things that need changin'
Need to stop gettin' drunk to avoid the situation
I need to stop letting myself down

[Refrain]
I should shut up and listen, not try to fill every silence
I should stumble in love instead of running and hiding
I should stop gettin' drunk and showing up uninvited
I need to stop letting myself down

[Post-Chorus]
I'll try something that I've not before

[Bridge]
Oh, I'm a master at dancing around the point
I know I called you, but I hate the sound of my own voice
So, can you talk? You know I'm stackin' up
Until the night I'm not enough
And you're just someone else I disappoint
[Chorus]
I need to stop my excuses and put my feelings in order
Need to look in the mirror and stand a little bit taller
Need to stop getting drunk as a reason to call ya
I need to stop letting myself down

[Refrain]
Oh, I should shut up and listen, not try to fill every silence
I should stumble in love instead of running and hiding
I should stop gettin' drunk and showing up uninvited
I need to stop letting myself down

[Post-Chorus]
I'll try something that I've not before
And like myself a little more now
