Status Quo Lyrics

Aching and then I'm sinking
And all this pressure's eating me alive
Can't be what you want from me
And to be real it's getting hard to survive

And you go, I will understand so you don't have to try
But I know you will run away if you see me inside

So I'll go
Picking up the tracks, thinking where I wanna go
See what's on my mind, please just anywhere but home
So tired of all these statements, forget the status quo
Just wanna be for real and these tears just overflow

Shaking, sometimes I can't breathe
But I just cover up and say I'm finе
These motions, all this commotion
To be accеpted you gotta change your whole life

And you go, I will understand so you don't have to try
But I know you will run away if you see me inside

So I'll go
Picking up the tracks, thinking where I wanna go
See what's on my mind, please just anywhere but home
So tired of all these statements, forget the status quo
Just wanna be for real and these tears just overflow
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na

Maybe I just need some space to be okay
'Cause all the noise is drowning me
And I need some tranquillity
So I'll just

Pick up all the tracks to think where I wanna go
See what's on my mind, please just anywhere but home
So tired of all these statements, forget the status quo
Just wanna be for real and these tears just overflow

Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
But I know you will run away if you see me inside
