lyrics

This is all I ever wanted since i can remember, since I remember I decided.
This was is all I've ever dreamed of since I sat on the sofa on Saturday night and

I thought to myself
I could call myself

A tortured soul
A broken heart
Something special

I will croon these loaded words with a bone dry brow to the sight of a sold out house.
And me and my session band will bring the roof down to the sound of a praise chorus.

And I'll think to myself they'll all know I am

A tortured soul
A broken heart
Something special

So please validate me
Romanticise me
Praise me
Applaud the delicate lines I've traced
As a Masterpiece.
