Clean Bandit - New Eyes Lyrics
In the quiet of my roomI gather up my thoughts and questionsCould I ever be like you?Could I ever be a person, so real and so true?It seems implausibleI look at my reflectionIf only I could sayThe things I never mentionThe things you never knewAnd I'd like to thank you for the human I've becomeI'm sorry if I've let you downI'm trying, I'm learning as I stumble alongTo see this new world without your eyesOnce upon a time there was a girl who so much loved the worldShe have her only begotten sunshineAnd dried her stained eyes on a neck tieTook the best lies made 'em truthsAnd spit sad soliloquies in the boothCause people think they know but they barely knewThe reality of what the other-siders doBut I've been there, I've learnt thatSeen a whole bunch of world and done came backGot a reckoning for wrecking in my knapsack'Bout to journey on foot through the outbackGRRRL PRTY is the label on my snapbackDoin' worldwide shows in a black hat'Bout to tell your ass a story so take thatFree prophecies from a black catSeen his demise with a pair of brand new eyesIt was sickening, guyNever wanted to be stickin' it to thickening thighsBut now he deeper than the secrets that he keep with a lie"Mm, tastes good!" baby say with a cryNow wait...Thinkin' about it too much, too muchDeepen the profit sooner, soonerHe never wanted to be a loserBut the bruises of losing is oozing through his fingersThe tips that like to brush at my hipsIs now at the hilt of a sword, LordOn the battlefield, torn, swornTo never think about another loverHopin' he had time to recover but nothing's ever easyBeware the sting of queen bee (grr!)And I'd like to thank you for the human I've becomeI'm sorry if I've let you downI'm trying, I'm learning as I stumble alongTo see this new world without your eyesSo many things in he I would like to beWiser, more light on my feetI could look up in the mirror and change meOr right over my shoulder and save meThinkin' about back, back when, when I ain't have nothingNot a thing or a ring to my nameNow my feet in the game, knee deep, don't speakFeelin' like Gwen Stefani in this thingBut I can't complain cause we asked for thisFeelin' like a workaholic or a masochistDon't call like I should like its sacrilegeTo make a dollar in a dream into packed venuesTake a second, put your shield downLaying down my sword, getting off the battlefield nowMakin' bigger moves, bigger pictures in my view nowGet up out of my way I've got ammo for days, pow!I can feel the weight of wars you've lostThey're victories in my eyesEvery swing you take brings me closer and closerOpen the gates and I'm poised to chargeYou told me we'd never get this farNow we at the final roundThere's no way we'll escape battle scarsBattle scarsAnd I'd like to thank you for the human I've becomeI'm sorry if I've let you downI'm trying, I'm learning as I stumble alongTo see this new world without your eyes
