Lip Sinking

(album: Confidence - 2023)

I wish words were like a boomerang
That came back so I didn't have to commit
But we know you only get one life and this is it

I lip-sync
Cos I know all the words off by heart
Instinct
So I never rock the boat
But I think
I'm ready to grab the remote
Press play, see what I have to say

My mouth is moving
But the words are not mine
The sense of losing
Happens every time
And when I walk away feel like nobody's winning
Cos I'm just lip sinking

And everyone can see it
And everyone can feel it
I'm not hiding secrets
I'm just hiding myself

And deep deep down I know it
I've been too scared to show it
Well, no more over-thinking
And no more lip sinking

I dislike my likeability am I too polite
Contorting into something that you might like
How can you tell what I'm thinking
If I'm only lip-syncing

I float above my body
Must be out of my mind
Cos I watch myself
Getting it wrong every time
I can't tell you how I'm really feeling
Cuz I'm just lip-syncing

And everyone can see it
And everyone can feel it
I'm not hiding secrets
I'm just hiding myself

And deep deep down I know it
I've been too scared to show it
Well, no more over-thinking
And no more lip sinking

(No more)
(No)

No more will I ignore when I lip-sync
Gonna let you know what I think
