lyrics

There’s a critic in the room, I don’t like it one bit
They’re everywhere, I pretend not to care
Just let me have a fit
Those judgmental eyes, and dirty lies
They’re all staring at me
I wanna be in the spotlight
Just not judged constantly

Don’t judge me
Or show me what I’m doing wrong
One day you’ll see
And then you’ll be singing my song

You’re just waiting for me to screw up, aren’t you?
You wouldn’t be able to do what I do
And you know it’s true
Pessimism boils in all your major arteries
You feed off those negative energies
To be pleased

Don’t judge me
Or show me what I’m doing wrong
One day you’ll see
And you’ll be singing my song

Judgmental eyes, stare me down, I can’t escape
Bad publicity, a good deal for you, where’s your dignity

No, I won’t go
So don’t even pretend that you know
I did so well
But at one point I fell

Your judgmental eyes see through me
Inside my heart beats
In my mind, my thoughts race
The journalist defeats

Don’t judge me
Or show me what I’m doing wrong
One day you’ll see
And then you’ll be singing all along


It’s a job for you
That pays the rent
If it were up to me
You wouldn’t make a cent
I’ll move on and be strong
Even though you’re wrong
Forgive and forget, I’ll try
Just tell me why
