[Verse 1] I scroll my name away One thumb, one more day They know my face, my frame But they don't know my pain I trade my skin for shine A little proof online I get the wants I want But not the want I need [Pre-Chorus] And the screen says "stay" So I stay too long It feeds my hungry mouth Then it steals my song I hear the clock get loud In the back of my head Every little "you might like" Puts a shadow in my bed [Chorus] Give me less, give me less Give me back my name I want me, I want me Not a dressed-up frame You give what I want But you don't know me I want me, I want me Let me be, let me be [Verse 2] The news runs all day Like a wound on repeat Same fear, new suit Same bruise, same beat Now my room feels small And the world feels mean I start to believe What I've never seen My friends are ghosts in glass My time leaks through my hands I can't tell my true voice From the crowd demands [Pre-Chorus] And the screen says "stay" So I stay too long It feeds my hungry mouth Then it steals my song I hear the clock get loud In the back of my head Every little "you might like" Puts a shadow in my bed [Chorus] Give me less, give me less Give me back my name I want me, I want me Not a dressed-up frame You give what I want But you don't know me I want me, I want me Let me be, let me be [Bridge] [Saxophone break] I used to know my face In a cracked-up mirror Now it's just a pose Getting cleaner, clearer (low and close) If I go quiet now Maybe I come back Maybe under all this noise There's a line I lack (high rasp to falsetto) Oooh, I need my breath Oooh, I need my skin Not a million watching eyes Just the man I'm in [Final Chorus] Give me less, give me less Give me back my name I want me, I want me Not a dressed-up frame You give what I want But you don't know me I want me, I want me Let me be, let me be Give me less, give me less Give me back my name I want me, I want me Not a dressed-up frame You give what I want But you don't know me I want me, I want me Let me be, let me be
