Amateur

you make me feel like im ok
i could be happy
now i can sit not run away
stupidly laughing
wipe out all self pity
it's slowing me down
turn off feeling pretty
dressing up dressing down
i walk around the city
out of my way, lookin for somethin
i've got all i need to save my day
so why am i running
you said i should get professional help
it always makes me cry
i know im just an amateur but
ive gotta try

i had a birthday party
and it was packed, got friends who love me
we hold the disco ball up and watch the lights
they were so lovely
you said i should get professional help
it always makes me cry
i know im just an amateur but
ive gotta try
ive gotta try

when exactly?
i get the decades mixed up
i like the streets wet
see i can make the rest up
i can make the rest up
i can make the rest up

i walk around the city
out of my way, lookin for somethin
i've got all i need to save my day
so why am i running
you said i should get professional help
it always makes me cry
i know im just an amateur but
ive gotta try
