    ***please read***

    - I'm more than happy to sign your copy, just let me know with a note at the checkout :) if you don't leave a note, it will arrive shrink-wrapped with no signature. If you request for it to be signed, please be aware I will need to open the shrink-wrapping to sign it so only go for this if that is not a problem for you!

    - (For UK buyers), in order for each vinyl sale to be officially recorded and sent to the Official Chart Company, I would kindly ask for you to make sure you download your free digital copy of the album with your purchase, even if you’re not going to listen to it that way primarily.


    PLEASE NOTE:

    If you are purchasing from outside of the UK, you may be required to pay extra charges at your end e.g. customs and/or tax fees. This fee is not in my control and is assessed by your local customs office. Customs policies vary widely for every country so please check with your local customs office directly to see if they apply duties and taxes to your purchases. (Sorry!)

lyrics

Told a friend I'm happy on my own
Now I'm watching videos of celebrity couples looking into each other's eyes
What a surprise
I didn't know I was lying
I didn't know I was lying
I didn't know I was lying

Wrote affirmations on loving myself
Now I want somebody else to confirm independently the stuff I already know
Got to let go
Got to let go
But it's easier said than done though

Hey
If I'm some kind of cliché
Hey
I hope it turns out okay

Say I do what I want for a living
But at family dinners I'm giving minimal details about what I'm up to these days
What can I say
Hard to describe anyway
Hard to describe anyway
Hard to describe anyway

Tell myself there's nobody who'd do better in my shoes
But whenever I see somebody's life announcement I just run and hide
I don't know why
Too scared I'm messed up inside
And I'll never get to know what their normal is like

Hey
If I'm some kind of cliché
Hey
I hope it turns out okay

No official guidebook
Just some precedents
Weighing on your shoulders
Items on a checklist
All the fairytales
Were only in my head
And all I wanna do now
Is sleep alone in my bed

If I could just stop analysing everything that I've ever said

I want to take it down
Burn the feeling out
That they're all moving while I'm static but I don't know how

Just want to let it go
I've got to let it go
Drain my resources trying so hard to let it go

I want to take it down
Burn the feeling out
That they're all moving while I'm static but I don't know how

Just want to let it go
I've got to let it go
Drain my resources trying so hard to let it go

I want to take it down
Burn the feeling out
That they're all moving while I'm static but I don't know how

Just want to let it go
I've got to let it go
Drain my resources trying so hard to let it go

I want to take it down
Burn the feeling out
That they're all moving while I'm static but I don't know how

Just want to let it go
I've got to let it go
Drain my resources trying so hard to let it go
