Lyrics

Guess I was born this way

Expressing acceptance of one's inherent nature or identity.

A young gun with something to say

Being a youthful individual with a desire to express oneself.

Show me the gold to take

Seeking opportunities for success or wealth.

I wanted a name

Desiring recognition and a distinct identity.

Tell me this is a way

Requesting confirmation that there is a path or purpose.

I'll break any neck to play

Willing to overcome obstacles or challenges for a chance to perform.

I'll fake any smile and sign it away

Willing to feign happiness and sign away genuine emotions.

I wanted a name

Reiterating the desire for a distinct and recognizable identity.


And I feel like the moment and I pretend that I own it

Feeling in control of the current moment and pretending to own it.

And I know that I chose this and I want it

Acknowledging a conscious choice to pursue a particular path.

This road isn't homely I got ten thousand onlys

Recognizing the challenges and limitations on the chosen journey.

But it only takes one of them to hold me

Understanding that despite numerous challenges, only one is significant enough to matter.


Could you love me like you used to?

Questioning if past love can be replicated or maintained.

Could you love me like you used to?

-

Could you love me like you used to?

-

Could you love me like you used to?

-

'Cause I still needed you

Expressing an ongoing need for emotional support and connection.

Needed you

-

'Cause I still need you

-

Tell me this is a way

Reiterating the search for a purpose or path.

And now that I learn it's a game

Acknowledging the understanding that the journey involves playing a game.

I'll take all the blame and keep all the shame

Willing to accept responsibility and bear the burden of shame for the sake of fame.

To tell you it's fame

Stating that the current status is fame.

Now that I'm on my way

Indicating progress on the chosen path.

And nothing is ever the same

Highlighting the irreversible change that comes with fame.

I'll never been good with the change

Expressing discomfort with adapting to change.

I wanted a name

Reiterating the desire for a distinct and recognizable identity.


And I feel like the moment and I pretend that I own it
