Lyrics

Recognise

Who said being sad is not a crime?
'Cause I'm bad, so I lock myself inside
With a coffee and a good book
Ooh, is it selfish? I'm not sure
Good God, I would do it all again

What if I recognise I'm
Recognise I'm alive? (With a coffee and a good book)
Never mind, never mind, I'll
I'll be here for a while

And all this time I've been dreaming
Is it selfish? I'm not sure
What if I recognise I'm
Recognise, recognise -

You said that it's okay for me to cry
And I got so mad at you
'Cause I didn't want you to see me cry
Ooh, I've been so hard on myself
But it don't matter
I know I'd do it all again

What if I recognise I'm
Recognise I'm alive?
Never mind, never mind, I'll
I'll be here for a while

And all this time I've been dreaming
Is it selfish? I'm not sure
What if I recognise I'm
Recognise, recognise -
