Living up to Me - Beth McCarthy

I’m a caged bird

You’re all coloured fancy, fantasy

But I’m a dreamer

Just wondering what it would be, to be free

They all know my name but they don’t know it’s jaded

What if I’m not all they say?

If I were a lover

Do you think that I’d be loved?

If I were a painter

Would pictures be enough?

If I were the first man on the moon

Would I make it back to earth too soon?

They say believe, they don’t see

That it’s not all it seems, living up to me

You’re the joy

That I can’t seem to run from, run from

And I’m sorry

If I can’t be someone you thought I was

'Cause they all know my name but they don’t know I’m jaded

What if I’m not all they say?

If I were a lover

Do you think that I’d be loved?

If I were a painter

Would pictures be enough?

If I were the first man on the moon

Would I make it back to earth too soon?

They say believe, they don’t see

That it’s not all it seems, living up to me

Ooo oh

And I’m not tryna be the girl

That has the world lay at her feet

All I see is the concrete

And that’s all I need

I were a lover

Think that I’d be loved?

If I were a painter

Pictures be enough?

If I were the first man on the moon

Would I make it back to earth too soon?

They say believe, they don’t see

It’s not all it seems

They say believe, they don’t see

That I don’t wanna be living up to me
