Zero

Maisie Peters

7

I'm starting from zero

I'm starting from scratch

Thought I'd finally grown up

Seems that I'm just growing back

People say that you learn from mistakes that you make

But I just keep on breaking 'em again and again

I just wanted to please everybody at once

But I can't stand confrontation, rather cut it and run

And I see now I should've stuck it out and explained

Hindsight's a bitch for coming way too late

I used to be able to say it wasn't me

Used to be able to say it wasn't me

So I've got a loaded gun

And I seem to fire it just for kicks

Coz I miss every time I just hit you

And I guess I should've read the manual that I came with

Coz now I'm just taking out my friends

I'm just taking them all down

I was just taking them all down

Coz I was burning through bridges like a child with a flame

Setting fire to everyone in a twenty-meter range

I think I need a signpost so you'd all understand

I'm a tryer, but my fire always gets out of hand

Coz once I start I just can't seem to stop

So I run my words and then watch my friends run off

So I've got a loaded gun

And I seem to fire it just for kicks

Coz I miss every time I just hit you

And I guess I should've read the manual that I came with

Coz now I'm just taking out my friends

I'm just taking them all down

I was just takin them all down

Down deep inside I know that I am better than this

Train wreck hot-head who should've listened when her

Mum said, won't you think about what you're saying

Mais, this ain't a game you're good at playing

You're too afraid of hurting feelings

To be good at playing people

In the first place

I was just taking them all down

I'm starting from zero gonna try put it right

And though when I take a step

I'm always two steps behind

Blame the education system for putting junk in my head

Fills up all of the space, leaves no room for clear sense

They taught me spelling and arithmetic

I wish that they'd taught me how to not be such a horrible person

So I've got a loaded gun

And I seem to fire it just for kicks

Coz I miss every time I just hit you

And I guess I should've read the manual that I came with

Coz now I'm just taking out my friends

I'm just taking them all down

I was just taking them all down

Down deep inside I know that I am better than this

Train wreck hot-head who should've listened when her

Mum said, won't you think about what you're saying

Mais, this ain't a game you're good at playing

You're too afraid of hurting feelings

To be good at playing people

In the first place

I was just taking them all down
