New Eyes (feat. Lizzo)

In the quiet of my room

I gather up my thoughts and questions

Could I ever be like you?

Could I ever be a person, so real and so true?

It seems implausible

I look at my reflection

If only I could say

The things I never mention

The things you never knew

And I'd like to thank you for the human I've become

I'm sorry if I've let you down

I'm trying, I'm learning as I stumble along

To see this new world without your eyes

Once upon a time there was a girl who so much loved the world

She gave her only begotten sunshine

And dried her stained eyes on a neck tie

Took the best lies made 'em truths

And spit sad soliloquies in the booth

'Cause people think they know but they barely knew

The reality of what the other-siders do

But I've been there, I've learned that

Seen a whole bunch of world and done came back

Got a reckoning for wrecking in my knapsack

'Bout to journey on foot through the outback

GRRRL PRTY is the label on my snapback

Doin' worldwide shows in a black hat

'Bout to tell your ** a story so take that

Free prophecies from a black cat

Seen his demise with a pair of brand new eyes

It was sickening, guy

Never wanted to be stickin' it to thickening thighs

But now he deeper than the secrets that he keep with a lie

"Mm, tastes good!" baby say with a cry

Now wait

Thinkin' about it too much, too much

Deepen the profit sooner, sooner

He never wanted to be a loser

But the bruises of losing is oozing through his fingers

The tips that like to brush at my hips

Is now at the hilt of a sword, Lord

On the battlefield, torn, sworn

To never think about another lover

Hopin' he had time to recover but nothing's ever easy

Beware the sting of queen bee (Grr!)

And I'd like to thank you for the human I've become

I'm sorry if I've let you down

I'm trying, I'm learning as I stumble along

To see this new world without your eyes

So many things in he I would like to be

Wiser, more light on my feet

I could look up in the mirror and change me

Or right over my shoulder and save me

Thinkin' about back, back when, when I ain't have nothing

Not a thing or a ring to my name

Now my feet in the game, knee deep, don't speak

Feelin' like Gwen Stefani in this thing

But I can't complain 'cause we asked for this

Feelin' like a workaholic or a masochist

Don't call like I should like it's sacrilege

To make a dollar in a dream into packed venues

Take a second, put your shield down

Laying down my sword, getting off the battlefield now

Makin' bigger moves, bigger pictures in my view now

Get up out of my way I've got ammo for days, pow!

I can feel the weight of wars you've lost

They're victories in my eyes

Every swing you take brings me closer and closer

Open the gates and I'm poised to charge

You told me we'd never get this far

Now we at the final round

There's no way we'll escape battle scars

Battle scars

And I'd like to thank you for the human I've become

I'm sorry if I've let you down

I'm trying, I'm learning as I stumble along

To see this new world without your eyes
