Lyrics:
All my friends they think I’m stupid
Always raining on my own parade
Finding problems in solutions
Can’t help myself from pushing you away

If I had a glass it’d be half empty
Never been the one to top it up
The opposite of a romantic
Can’t help myself from messing it all up

Sometimes I drink so I don’t feel lonely
I only ever let strangers hold me
Be paranoid and I hate not knowing
How the hell it’s gonna end

So what if you’re the worst
What if this could hurt, mmm
Maybe I should self sabotage as for nothing
Cut you off when I start feeling something
What if you’re the worst

Wish I could separate my memories
So they don’t bleed into this thing we got
I keep tainting good things with the ugly
Can’t help myself from messing it all up

Sometimes I drink so I don’t feel lonely
I only ever let strangers hold me
Be paranoid and I hate not knowing
How the hell it’s gonna end

What if you’re the best (sometimes I drink so I don’t feel lonely)
A trainweck like the rest (I only ever let strangers hold me)
Maybe I should just let all my feelings just sink in
I know I should stop overthinking
What if you’re the worst

Mmmhmmm
Mmhmmmm

Sometimes I drink so I don’t feel lonely
I only ever let strangers hold me
Get paranoid and I hate not knowing
How the hell it’s gonna end

What if you’re the best
Not a trainweck like the rest
Maybe I should just let all my feelings just sink in
I know I should stop overthinking
What if you’re the worst

This is becoming my favourite Will Young song to date. I love the way Will's voice gives it a fragility and delicacy that just adds impact to the emotional heft of the song. But I also love the 'craft' of the song. It's adaptable - it could just as easily be a massive country song or basso-profundo blues ballad. The song works at every level (not sure if it would make a good bossa nova, though).

So perfectly beautiful it brought me to tears ❤

[jpark]

Your voice is like a fresh air of autumn breeze. ❤

[gillstanley]

Speechless. Masterful performance and arrangement. The album version is great and I didn't think it could be adapted so well acoustically but this is truly outstanding. Well done Will and Christian. A showstopper.❤❤
