Words - Kate Miller-Heidke

These words are working do they work for you?
Is there something wrong between us?
Is there something I can do?
Is there some way I can take back all the times you threw away?
Been burning up the decade when you should have seized the day

I wonder why I’m talking ‘cause I’m talking all the time
Will you ever get the message and just leave it all behind
The conversation’s trivial but trivial is fine, when held up to the light

Do think my personality is written in stone?
Are you positively certain that you know what you’ve been shown?
I’m a snapshot of the person that you think I oughta be
Now give it up, give it up, give it up

CHORUS:
I’ve been the leader
I’ve been the follower
I’ve been the dreamer
I’ve been the wallower
I take the high road, I take the low road
I don’t wanna be your mother
I’ve been down boys, I’ve been down boys, been right to the top
When you hear me coming you can hear a pin drop

Didn’t mean to be annoying, didn’t mean to make a mess
Never meant to cast a shadow but it’s leading me distressed
The shrapnel from your heart is buried in my chest
But it’s not all me

Do think my personality is written in stone?
Are you positively certain that you know what you’ve been shown?
I’m a snapshot of the person that you think I oughta be
Now give it up, give it up, give it up

I’ve been the leader
I’ve been the follower
I’ve been the dreamer
I’ve been the wallower
I take the high road, I take the low road
I don’t wanna be your mother
I’ve been down boys, I’ve been down boys, been right to the top
When you hear me coming you can hear a pin drop

La da da
La da da
La da
Da da da da da da

La da da
La da da
La da
Da da da da da da

Oooh, I’ve been the leader
I’ve been the follower
I’ve been the dreamer
I’ve been the wallower
I take the high road, I take the low road
I don’t wanna be your lover
I’ve been down boys, I’ve been down boys, been right to the top
When you hear me coming you can hear a pin drop

I’ve been the leader
I’ve been the follower

Oooh, I’ve been the leader
I’ve been the follower

Ohh, I’ve been the leader
I’ve been the follower
