  • Hear me out

    This is my King's speech (speech), I'm nowhere near the end (end)
    If I s-s-s-stutter, sorry I ain't Heaven-sent (sent)
    I messed my life up (up), and yeah, I've been down (down)
    I'm a changed man now (ooh), Chris Brown (shh)
    You know I feel your pain 'cause I done been through it (through it)
    I'm Kurt Cobain but I just couldn't do it (do it)
    No point in turning back (back), just to hit rewind (-wind)
    Back to the future, Ma-Marty McFly
    Deep inside, there's a fire
    'Cause I'm no longer looking at a reflection that I admire
    I paint the picture of a fighter
    But there's someone looking back at me, says I'm a liar

    If I should die before I wake, the least that I could ever say
    I made mistakes but held on to my faith

    'Cause when I look in the mirror
    I don't even recognize myself
    Got the heart of a winner
    But looking back at me is someone else
    No regrets, no regrets
    No point in crying over yesterday, ay
    No regrets, no regrets
    Cah we ain't even seen the best of days

    This is my last chance (chance), I'm on my final straw (straw)
    I came so close to b-b-breaking like a spinal chord
    I came from nothing (nothing), some kid in Camden (Camden)
    Now I'm flyer than the birds, Richard Branson (ah)
    I'm a prince, yes I will get the crown
    Kate stays in my dungeon when her sister's 'round (yeah)
    So please forgive me, if I make mistakes (yeah, yeah)
    But I'll blow the bloody doors off, Michael Caine

    If I should die before I wake, the least that I could ever say
    I made mistakes but held on to my faith

    'Cause when I look in the mirror (in the mirror)
    I don't even recognize myself
    Got the heart of a winner (of a winner)
    But looking back at me is someone else (no)
    No regrets (no), no regrets
    No point in crying over yesterday, ay
    No regrets (yeah), no regrets (yeah)
    Cah we ain't even seen the best of days

    I'm free to be whatever I
    'Cause I'm famous, call me Gallagher 'cause I'm so shameless
    The papers sold the pages at the cost of my failures
    Victimised by the public, don't know if I can take this
    So I sing "So when you feel like there's no more
    Nothing left but the life you've broken"
    No regrets, no turning back
    Pick up yourself and tell them, "I'm just being me"

    'Cause when I look in the mirror (hey, hey)
    I don't even recognize myself
    Got the heart of a winner
    But looking back at me is someone else
    No regrets (yeah), no regrets
    No point in crying over yesterday, ay
    No regrets (yeah), no regrets
    No regrets

    'Cause when I look in the mirror
    I don't even recognize myself (woo)
    Got the heart of a winner (of a winner)
    But looking back at me is someone else (no)
    No regrets (no), no regrets
    No point in crying over yesterday, ay
    No regrets (yeah), no regrets (yeah)
    Cah we ain't even seen the best of days

    'Cause when I look in the mirror (In the mirror)
    I don't even recognize myself (whoa, oh-oh)
    I got the heart of a winner (of a winner)
    But looking back at me is someone else (no)
    No regrets (no), no regrets
    No point in crying over yesterday, ay
    No regrets, no regrets
    'Cause you ain't even seen the best of me Writer/s: Ayak Thiik, Ben Kohn, Dino Contostavlos, Peter Kelleher, Richard Rawson, Tom Barnes
