Lyrics
Call up my dad cause I'm a failure
Anything that I can do
I’ll just do it later
Kids don't you end up like me
Tell the world that I'm going down
Seven feet under I won’t make a sound
I need to find my way in life

Anything I have just runs and goes
And when I say I shine I barely glow
I don't know when I'm meant to go away

Its a shame, its a shame
You don't really wanna know my name
Who's to blame who’s to blame
You don't really wanna know my name

Tell all your friends that you made a mistake
One year forward I’m probably late but I need to feel your hands in mine
I know I gave off the wrong impression
But trust me darling I've learnt my lesson I want to walk with you in the sand

Anything I have just runs and goes
And when I say I shine I barely glow
I don't know when I'm meant to go away

It’s a shame it’s a shame
You don't really wanna know my name
Who's to blame who’s to blame
You don't really wanna know my name

I don't wanna drive with the wind in my hair
I don't wanna live without a care
I wanna walk the the inbetween

The time for empathy has long gone
But you’ll probably find it when you listen to this song
I don't know what’s right and what it's wrong

Hear me out hear me out, you don't really wanna know my name
Who's to blame who’s to blame you don’t really wanna know my name
It’s a shame, it’s such a shame that you don't really wanna know my name know my name, know my name
You don't really wanna know my name
