[Lyric] Tokyo (Elyse Alexander)

[Verse 1]
I've never been to Tokyo or anywhere in Japan
I've never been treated respectfully by a good looking man
But you don't always get what you wish for
I spent February 14th of 2019
Sending letters full of words that I didn't really mean
But you can't be proud of every single thing you've done

[Chorus}
Maybe someday the labyrinth in my brain will understand perfection isn't worth the time
Maybe someday I'll publish all the pages of poems I've rewritten hundreds of times
But for now I'll cry cause you can't be happy all your life

[Verse 2]
I'm not sure I know how to be independent so I drown it out by watching another TV show but who doesn't distract themselves from time to time?
Sometimes I think I might've peaked at the age of 17 'cause that's who I was before he ruined me but who isn't bitter in between the better?

[Chorus}
Maybe someday the labyrinth in my brain will understand perfection isn't worth the time
Maybe someday I'll publish all the pages of poems I've rewritten hundreds of times
But for now I'll cry cause you can't be happy all your life
[Bridge]
And now I'm caught in the lingering scent of my carelessness there are some thoughts here that I should probably dismiss, but they've been buried here for quite some time
And knowing myself I'll probably regret that I gave you permission to see what's inside of my head, even with nothing on the line

[Chorus}
Maybe someday the labyrinth in my brain will understand perfection isn't worth the time
Maybe someday I'll publish all the pages of poems I've rewritten hundreds of times
But for now I'll cry cause you can't be happy all your life

[Outro]
I've never been to Tokyo or anywhere in Japan
But I'm gonna make it there holding my own hand
