lirik lagu temme scott – understudy
(verse 1)
i write in verbal sweaters
give me a t~shirt with my name
to remind me of me
and my ignorant shame
i speak in broken letters
but i’ll write and anthem to your chest
he’ll say “why did she tell me she’s emotionless”
(pre~chorus)
i want to believe them
i want to cry on the outside fence at your party
and not tell anybody
i don’t understand them
but i’ll tell them everything i know
i told him my talking felt more like a show
(chorus)
why do i
do this to me? oo i
i’m like the understudy
i don’t trust anybody
my god, i
i wanna play the lead, ah
this wait is overbearing
write to your god, i’m swearing
if this is an issue of meaning the part
why don’t i act with my heart?
(verse 2)
i sleep in wool and leather
i’m tying threads around my neck
choking on everything they’ve ever said
no, i’m not any better
but i’ll push the needle through their seams
asking “how do you all speak up so easily?”
(pre~chorus)
i wanna know them
i wanna laugh, break some glass
at your home dinner table
make them trust that i’m stable
i’m gonna have to show them
they’re gonna trust me
whether they like it or not
i’m not asking: i’m telling you
i don’t stop
(chorus)
why do i
do this to me? oo i
i’m like the understudy
i don’t trust anybody
my god, i
i wanna play the lead, ah
this wait is overbearing
write to your god, i’m swearing
if this is an issue of meaning the part
why don’t i act with my heart?
(bridge)
i’m never holding out my heart
i’m only gripping on the guts i grew last year
in a twin bed, i’m under a tin shed
it’s too easy to hear everything
i could fall in the way of an undeserved letter
i’m writing to me, like i need, like i see
how the girl who was 15
swallowed the steam
the entire pipe dream
to prove to the people that she was a cannon
she lost everything in a fight
to just manage some time
with the air they all left
she lost her breath
(chorus)
why do i
do this to me? oo i
i’m like the understudy
i don’t trust anybody
my god, i
i wanna play the lead, ah
this wait is overbearing
why do i
do this to me? oo i
i’m like the understudy
my god, i
i wanna play the lead, ah
this wait is overbearing
write to your god, i’m swearing
if this is an issue of meaning the part
why don’t i act with my heart?
