The List - Maisie Peters

Oh I, have a hobby of pickin' myself apart

Leavin' people I love waitin' in the dark

And sometimes when I want to cry, I laugh

It’s kind of funny

Oh and, this October I went fallin' off the edge

All of London must have heard the things I said

Put your hand up if I let you down again, hmm

There’s a list of things that I should stop

List of things that I should stop

List of things that I should not be doin' but I do 'em

It’s a pattern that I got

I need to stop my excuses and have a real conversation

Need to look in the mirror, stop findin' things that need changin'

Need to stop gettin' drunk, to avoid the situation

I need to stop, lettin' myself down

I’ll try something that I’ve not before

And like myself a little more now

Oh I, I’ve got an attic full of damage in my mind

I box it up, say I’ll deal with it another night

And I have a problem lookin' people in the eye

Isn’t that funny?

There’s a list of things that I should stop

List of things that I should stop

List of things that I should not be doin' but I do 'em

It’s a pattern that I’ve got

I need to stop my excuses and have a real conversation

Need to look in the mirror, stop findin' things that need changin'

Need to stop gettin' drunk to avoid the situation

I need to stop, lettin' myself down

I should shut up and listen, not try to fill every silence

I should stumble in love, instead of runnin' and hidin'

I should stop gettin' drunk and showin' up uninvited

I need to stop, lettin' myself down

I’ll try something that I’ve not before

Oh I’m a master at dancin' around the point

I know I called you, but I hate the sound of my own voice

So can you talk?

You know I’m stackin' up

Until the night I’m not enough

And you’re just someone else I disappoint

I need to stop my excuses and put my feelings in order

Need to look in the mirror and stand a little bit taller

Need to stop gettin' drunk, as a reason to call you

I need to stop, lettin' myself down

Oh, I should shut up and listen, not try to fill every silence

I should stumble in love instead of running and hiding

I should stop getting drunk and showing up uninvited

I need to stop letting myself down

I’ll try something that I’ve not before

And like myself a little more now
