Hedy Blaazer - Would You Like A Receipt?

Sometimes I still go there
When I get tired of feeling scared
And I get bored of always chasing
Take a minute take a seat take down your hair
And take all of your scars
Of everything you think you are
And all the people you don't speak to
And the broken bones that you're still trying to use
And use them for your best
Don't waste your time with what they said
And where you've been
But all I see
Is different types of people I don't want to be
I don't want to be someone with potential at 19
Could have been anything they dreamed
And now I smile and ask would you like a receipt
I don't want to be someone who does what other people wants
And lies awake all night in bed
To live their life inside their head
I don't want to be someone with money and with power
Who spends every working hour
Telling other people how they ought to be
You know it's not the same
I can see it kinda fade
It's in your face
It's in your eyes
And I can tell it's bad cause you asked my advice
And I advise the same
Just take yourself and walk away
It's what you have
It's all that stays
When you get old and wake up on that final day
And on that day I wanna look out
Over all the time I took up
And feel proud of what I see
And not see things that I don't want to be
I don't want to be someone who closed their eyes and then woke up
And by the time they realised
Well they'd already had their time
And I don't want to be someone exploited 9 to 5
Numb with a bottle of red wine a night
And on the weekend lives their life
And I don't want to be someone who never lived a minute
Wasted everything that's in them
Thinking 'bout the people they don't want to be
