Step into the room and every head turns round

Heart's a ticking bomb that's gonna make a sound

Want you all to see me, want you all to look

But the moment that you do, I'm shaking like a crook

I rehearsed this part a thousand times before

Now I'm standing at the edge, can't find the door

Come on, come on, I want the attention

Come on, come on, but don't you dare to mention

That I'm terrified of everything you see

Look at me, don't look at me

Look at me, don't look at me

Built myself a stage from all my best intentions

Sent out invitations, begging for redemption

Now you're in the audience and I'm the cabaret

But the curtain's far too heavy and I can't find what to say

I called you here to witness my parade

Now I'm hiding in the mess that I have made

Come on, come on, I want the attention

Come on, come on, but don't you dare to mention

That I'm terrified of everything you see

Look at me, don't look at me

Look at me, don't look at me

(Clap, clap)

Want it all

(Clap, clap)

Hate it all

(Clap, clap)

Want it all

(Clap, clap)

Can't take it, can't fake it anymore

Come on, come on, I want the attention

Come on, come on, it's such a bold invention

This beautiful, impossible disease

Look at me, don't look at me

Look at me, don't look at me

Look at me, don't look at me

Look at me
