Let's find out just how far I'll go
To look like someone you should know
           F
Maybe I'd sound a little better
       C                     G
If my features were more sweet

Your mind's already been made up
You saw my number and my number wasn’t good enough
I'll write a little better
If I'm willing to compete

Chorus:
G                F
I'll do it if I have to
C
Hoping for an in-between
G                        F
Not what I meant when I said that
C
I, I wanted to be seen

How am I meant to stay on track
When each hand I shake will pull me back?
Oh, I'll work a little harder
But walk a little less

And in the end will I feel proud
That I grit my teeth, and followed the damn crowd?
Will I have grown a little empire
Or made a fucking mess?

Chorus:
I'll do it if I have to
Hoping for an in-between
Not what I meant when I said that I...
I wanted to be seen
I'll do it if I have to
(I'll keep it to myself)
Hoping for an in-between
(Oh, I must have seen that somewhere)
Not what I meant when I said that
I wanted to be seen
