Sincerity Is Scary Lyrics - The 1975

1 And irony is okay, I suppose, culture is to blame

2 You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way

3 You lack substance when you say

4 Something like, "Oh, what a shame"

5 It's just a self-referential way that stops you having to be human

6 I'm assuming you'll balloon when you remove the dirty spoon

7 And start consuming like a human, that's what I am assuming

8 I'm sure that you're not just another girl

9 I'm sure that you're gonna say that I was sexist

10 I feel like you're running out of all the things I liked you for

11 Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?

12 'Cause it always ends with us hating each other

13 Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in

14 I've just got one more thing to say

15 And why would you believe

16 You could control how you're perceived

17 When at your best you're intermediately

18 Versed in your own feelings?

19 Keep on putting off conceiving

20 It's only you that you're deceiving

21 Oh, don't have a child, don't cramp your style, I'll leave it

22 Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?

23 'Cause it always ends with us hating each other

24 Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in

25 I've just got one more thing to say

26 I'm just pissed off because you pied me off

27 After your show when you let go of my hand

28 In front of some sket who wanted to bitch
