Linda
Pinks Lyrics

I can remember the very first time I cried
I recall the earliest time I experienced emotional pain.

How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside
I concealed my emotions and kept them to myself.

All of my memories - good and bad - that's past
My history, both positive and negative, is behind me.

Didn't even take the time to realize
I failed to acknowledge my experiences and consider their impact.

Starin' at the cracks in the walls
I'm lost in thought, analyzing the imperfections in my surroundings.

'Cause I'm waiting for it all to come to an end
I anticipate the impending conclusion of my current situation.

Still I curl up right under the bed
I retreat to a place of safety and isolation.

'Cause its takin' over my head all over again
My thoughts consume me and overwhelm my consciousness.

Do you even know who you are?
Do you possess self-awareness?

I guess I'm tryin' to find
I'm in search of understanding.

A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Do I want a fantasy or fame?

I want to be a star
I desire to achieve success and be in the spotlight.

Is life good to you or is it bad?
Is your existence positive or negative?

I can't tell anymore
I'm uncertain about my own life, let alone someone else's.

Lyin' awake watchin' the sunlight
I'm sleepless and witness the sunrise.

How the birds will sing as I count the rings around my eyes
I observe the natural world as I recognize the signs of fatigue around my eyes.

Constantly pushing the world I know aside
I'm preoccupied with ignoring my current reality.

I don't even feel the pain, I don't even want to try
I'm numb to my emotions and can't summon the drive to improve my situation.

I'm lookin' for a way to become
I seek to discover how to evolve into something else.

The person that I dreamt of when I was sixteen
The version of myself I envisioned as a young adult.

Oh, nothin' is ever enough
Success or accomplishment never satisfies me.

Ooh, baby, it ain't enough for what it may seem
I'm aware that my aspirations are hard to attain or not as meaningful as they appear.

Sorry girl, tell a tale for me
I apologize for my shortcomings and request inspiration.

'Cause I'm wondering how you really feel
I question another person's emotions and want them to convey their thoughts to me.

I'm a lonely girl, I'll tell a tale for you
I'm alone and will share my story in return.

'Cause I'm just tryin' to make all my dreams come true
I'm striving to turn my ambitions into reality.

Oh, yeah, yeah
An expression of agreement or affirmation.

I have a all these dreams
I possess various aspirations.

No, no
An expression of dismissal or rejection.

A rising dream or a fallen star?
Will I experience success or failure?
