Lyrics

Overrated (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]

Would you hate me

If I stuttered

Would you make me

Walk out of the door

Are you worried

To discover

All the things about me

You don't know

[Refrain]

Keep me, keep me

Keep me, and keep me

[Chorus]

Overrated, overrated

I'm jaded in this goddamn world

Overrated, overrated

Long enough to keep me

[Verse 2]

Undiscovered

Could you see my life

As something more

And paint me

In a colour

That you swear you've never seen before

[Refrain]

Keep me, and keep me

Keep me, and keep me

[Chorus]

Overrated, overrated

I'm jaded in this goddamn world

Overrated, overrated

Long enough to keep me

[Bridge]

In this state of grace

In this perfect place

Where you see me

In unreality

[Refrain]

Please keep me, keep me

Keep me, and lead me

[Chorus]

Overrated, overrated

I'm jaded in this goddamn world

Overrated, overrated

Long enough to keep me
