Standard (EADGBE)

I could be daydreaming but for a moment

and somehow they're creeping back in

I could be sleeping and wake in a torrent

somehow I get cought in their grips again

 and here I am in my shame spiral

I'm sucked into it again

and I reach out for your benevolent opinion

 and you bring the light back in.... ooooh

don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they

do the best to bring me down, bring me down

when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will

need your help to turn them down, turn them round

I could be listening to a conversation

a story I'm not even in

these voices have their way when I am unguarded

suddenly I step in quicksand again

 Once again in my shame spiral

 I am glad that you weigh in... ooooh

don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they

do the best to bring me down, bring me down

when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will

need your help to turn them down, turn them round

All these judgements so incisive

voices left to their devices

this woman's neuroses a desperate plea

 for slack to be cut to me.... cut to meeeeeeee... oooh

don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they

do the best to bring me down, bring me down

when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will

need your help to turn them down, turn them round
