Boston Manor – Stop Trying, Be Nothing lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stop trying, be nothing
Have your own mind, do your own thing
Forget friends, forget dreams
Rip your expectations apart at the seams
You don’t need to be anyone or anything
You’re your own, you’re yourself
You are nothing and you’re everything itself
The light spills from the window and dances on your skin
You are a story and I am the beginning

[Chorus]
Say those words to me
(Say those words to me)
Say them like you mean them
(Say them like you mean them)
Nothing like playing dead
You’re the apple on top of my head
So just keep still, I’m not holding my breath

[Verse 2]
Light from the window shines in the dusk glow
Skin cold as the snow but softer and paler still
You’ve been drinking, you’ve been drinking way too much
I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking way too much

[Chorus]
Say those words to me
(Say those words to me)
Say them like you mean them
(Say them like you mean them)
Nothing like playing dead
You’re the apple on top of my head
So just keep still, I’m not holding my breath

[Bridge/Outro]
From the cold nights to the big fights
It’s worth it just so I can see you smile and that glint in your eye
From the cold nights to the big fights
It’s worth it just so I can see you smile and that glint in your eye
