Matters - Ina Wroldsen

I tell you that

I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Yeah, tough skin covering my bones

Vains and muscle holds it all together

And I try to get stronger and better

Push-ups and pull-ups and head up high

Like my father used to tell me

But tough skin shivers in the cold

Veins and muscle lose control

And you think I'm made out of marble

But I am barely a mortal

And if you put down your chisel and listen

I'd tell you that

I'm so tired of these expectations

I'm so tired and I'm so afraid I'm not

Any of the things you make me out to be

I tell you that

I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

I got so many matters in my head

Don't say it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Yeah, stone face covering my fear

Stone cold but I'm human here

And I am balancing all this angst with ambition

I am my own opposition

If I could get you to listen

I'd tell you that

I'm so tired of these expectations

I'm so tired and I'm so afraid I'm not

Any of the things you make me out to be

I tell you that

I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

I got so many matters in my head

Don't say it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa

I'm trying not to but they weight me down

I'm so tired

I'm so tired

I tell you I'm not any of the things you make me out to be

I tell you that

I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

I got so many matters in my head

Don't say it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa

I'm trying not to but they weight me down
