lyrics

Go break a leg you know you got this one.
I wish I believed what you said.
I used to think that kind of confidence,
Would one day greet me like an old friend.

Instead I’m hiding tonight in the bathroom whilst you’re all downstairs,
Trying to recognise the person in the mirror.
Never thought it would hurt this bad or bleed this way,
Oh the greatest lie is coming of age.

Go break a leg you know you got this one.
Those words dissolve in my head.
Each year more of me disappears,
I forget what the feeling I’m chasing is.

I’ve been away for too long for it to go unnoticed now.
Any second you’ll be coming to find me.
You’ll sit me down, eye to eye, tell me straight.
I was sold a lie counting the days,
This has all just been a terrible mistake,
Oh the greatest lie is coming of age.

Instead you put your hand on me,
Said “it's okay to feel the way you feel”.
Life can drag you in circles and spins,
Go at your own pace coming of age.

Instead you put your hand on me,
Said “it's okay to feel the way you feel”.
Life can drag you in circles and spins,
Go at your own pace coming of age.

Ohhhhhhhh

A step in the right direction, is one less further away.
Go at your own pace,
Coming of age.
A step in the right direction, is one less further away.
Go at your own pace,
Coming of age.
