favourite daughter

Lorde

Ah-ah

I was a singer
You were my fan
When no one gave a damn
It was you in the dark
Scared of your anger
In love with your whim
Some notes I don t hit
But I don t give up

Now every day the plane takes off
And every night the room fills up with
People who are convinced I m not
Just some kid fakin it for your love

Cause I m an actress,
All of the medals I won for ya
Breaking my back just to be your favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I m always runnin to ya
Breaking my back just hoping
You ll say I m a star

You had a brother, I look like him
You told us as kids
He di?d of a broken heart
And for ev?ry door you open
There s a room I can t go in
I break in, I still can t find you

Now that every day the plane takes off
And every night the room fills up
I tell myself that soon we ll talk
Then I sing every word just to ya

Cause I m an actress,
All of the medals I won for ya
Panic attack just to be your favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I m always runnin to ya
Breaking my back to carry the weight of your heart

But I keep dancing till I get sick
Why d you have to dream so big?
Why did no one listen
When you hit the notes from your heart?
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

I m a good actress, look at the medals I won for ya
So you could imagine being a favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I m always runnin to ya
Breaking my back just to be
As brave as my mother
