The Nest

(album: Star Potential - 2023)

I grew up not wanting to be different
My brothers told me that I should be
I should try and keep my British accent
So I could be different and that is a good thing
I grew up with people all around me
But music never ran in our veins
My brothers never told me I would make it
But they were still proud of me all the same

I wanted to be like all the rest
Yeah, I wanted to blend into the nest
But it left me lonely
'Cause I'm made of something else
But my brothers told me
Just be true to yourself

Tried to find some common ground, there's nothing
I never went to university
Maybe I should study history or something
But I always had a songbird on my sleeve
Everybody's overanalyzing
Talking about my future with some doubt
My brothers told me I should keep my accent
Sister, you were born to stand out

But I wanted to be like all the rest
Yeah, I wanted to blend into the nest
But it left me lonely
'Cause I'm made of something else
But my brothers told me
Just be true to yourself

And I wanted to be like all the rest
Yeah, I wanted to blend into the nest
But it left me lonely
'Cause I'm made of something else
But my brothers told me
Just be true to yourself

My brothers never told me I would make it
But they were still proud of me all the same
