The List Songtext
von Jamie Lawson

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 this 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 this 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 hiding
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 call 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
