Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mmm
[Verse 2]
Take off my shirt
Loosen the buttons and undo my skirt
Stare at myself in the mirror
Pick me apart, piece by piece
Sorrow decreased, pressure released
[Verse 3]
I put in work
Did more than called upon, more than deserved
When it was over, did I wind up hurt? (Yes)
But it taught me
Before a decision, ask this question first
[Verse 4]
Who am I living for?
Is this my limit?
Can I endure some more?
Chances I'm given
Question existing
[Verse 5]
Who am I living for?
Is this my limit?
Can I endure some more?
Chances I'm given
Question existing
[Verse 6]
Take off my cool (Take off my cool)
Show them that under here, I'm just like you
Do the mistakes that may make me a fool
Or a human with flaws
Admit that I'm lost, round of applause (Round of applause)
Take the abuse
Sometimes it feels like they want me to lose (Want me to lose)
It's entertainment, is that an excuse? (No)
But the question that lingers, whether win or lose is
[Verse 7]
Who am I living for?
Is this my limit?
Can I endure some more?
Chances I'm given
Question existing
[Verse 8]
Who am I living for?
Is this my limit?
Can I endure some more?
Chances I'm given
Question existing
[Verse 9]
Dear diary, it's Robyn
Entertaining is something I do for a living
It's not who I am
I'd like to think that I'm pretty normal
I laugh, I get mad
I hurt, I think guys suck sometimes
But when you're in the spotlight
Everything seems good
[Verse 10]
Ooh, yeah
Sometimes I feel like I have it worst
'Cause I have to always keep my guard up
I don't know who to trust
I don't know who wants to date me for who I am
Or who wants to be my friend
For who I really am
[Verse 11]
Who am I living for?
Is this my limit?
Can I endure some more?
Chances I'm given
Question existing
[Verse 12]
Who am I living for?
Is this my limit?
Can I endure some more?
Chances I'm given
Question existing
