Bigger Than Me Lyrics

[Intro]
When somebody told me I would change
I used to hide behind a smile
When somebody told me I would change
I was afraid, I don't know why
'Cause so does the world outside, I've realised

[Verse 1]
I didn't read the signs
Walkin' different lines
I know I took a left
Tryna make it right

[Refrain]
All of these voices, all of these choices
I don't hear them anymore
Hear them anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
When somebody told me I would change
I usеd to hide behind a smile
Whеn somebody told me I would change
I was afraid, I don't know why
'Cause so does the world outside, I've realised

[Chorus]
And it's bigger than me
It's bigger than me
I've woken up from my sleep
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than me

[Verse 2]
So come on, call me "liar"
Yeah, you're so quick to judge
'Cause, yeah, I mighta changed
But everybody does

[Refrain]
All of those voices, all of those choices
I don't hear them anymore
Hear them anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
When somebody told me I would change
I used to hide behind a smile
When somebody told me I would change
I was afraid, I don't know why
'Cause so does the world outside, I've realised

[Chorus]
And it's bigger than me
It's bigger than me
I've woken up from my sleep
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than me

[Bridge]
Do you ever ask why? It's not black and white
How you sleep at night when you're just like me
Ooh, 'cause I feel alive
Now I realise that the world outside

[Chorus]
Is bigger than me
It's bigger than me
I've woken up from my sleep
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than me

It’s definitely the biggest sounding song I’ve got on the record, definitely the song that stands out as being one that should be a single. I wasn’t certain I was going to have one of these songs on this record that has a big chorus. It shows off my vocals, so I’m really proud of what we got out of it.
