New Eyes Lyrics - Clean Bandit

1 In the quiet of my room

2 I gather up my thoughts and questions

3 Could I ever be like you?

4 Could I ever be a person, so real and so true?

5 It seems implausible

6 I look at my reflection

7 If only I could say

8 The things I never mention

9 The things you never knew

10 And I'd like to thank you for the human I've become

11 I'm sorry if I've let you down

12 I'm trying, I'm learning as I stumble along

13 To see this new world without your eyes

14 Once upon a time there was a girl who so much loved the world

15 She have her only begotten sunshine

16 And dried her stained eyes on a neck tie

17 Took the best lies made 'em truths

18 And spit sad soliloquies in the booth

19 Cause people think they know but they barely knew

20 The reality of what the other-siders do

21 But I've been there, I've learnt that

22 Seen a whole bunch of world and done came back

23 Got a reckoning for wrecking in my knapsack

24 'Bout to journey on foot through the outback

25 GRRRL PRTY is the label on my snapback

26 Doin' worldwide shows in a black hat

27 'Bout to tell your ass a story so take that

28 Free prophecies from a black cat

29 Seen his demise with a pair of brand new eyes

30 It was sickening, guy

31 Never wanted to be stickin' it to thickening thighs

32 But now he deeper than the secrets that he keep with a lie

33 "Mm, tastes good!" baby say with a cry

34 Now wait

35 Thinkin' about it too much, too much

36 Deepen the profit sooner, sooner

37 He never wanted to be a loser

38 But the bruises of losing is oozing through his fingers

39 The tips that like to brush at my hips

40 Is now at the hilt of a sword, Lord

41 On the battlefield, torn, sworn

42 To never think about another lover

43 Hopin' he had time to recover but nothing's ever easy

44 Beware the sting of queen bee (grr!)

45 And I'd like to thank you for the human I've become

46 I'm sorry if I've let you down

47 I'm trying, I'm learning as I stumble along

48 To see this new world without your eyes

49 So many things in he I would like to be

50 Wiser, more light on my feet

51 I could look up in the mirror and change me

52 Or right over my shoulder and save me

53 Thinkin' about back, back when, when I ain't have nothing

54 Not a thing or a ring to my name

55 Now my feet in the game, knee deep, don't speak

56 Feelin' like Gwen Stefani in this thing

57 But I can't complain cause we asked for this

58 Feelin' like a workaholic or a masochist

59 Don't call like I should like its sacrilege

60 To make a dollar in a dream into packed venues

61 Take a second, put your shield down

62 Laying down my sword, getting off the battlefield now

63 Makin' bigger moves, bigger pictures in my view now

64 Get up out of my way I've got ammo for days, pow!

65 I can feel the weight of wars you've lost

66 They're victories in my eyes

67 Every swing you take brings me closer and closer

68 Open the gates and I'm poised to charge

69 You told me we'd never get this far

70 Now we at the final round

71 There's no way we'll escape battle scars

72 Battle scars
