Come Undone
Take That Lyrics

So unimpressed but so in awe
I am both impressed and underwhelmed by the same things.

Such a saint but such a whore
I am a complex mix of good and bad qualities.

So self aware so full of shit
I understand myself well, but sometimes I deceive myself.

So indecisive so adamant
I can be both unsure and stubborn simultaneously.

I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
I am thinking about the act of thinking itself.

It's so overrated just get another drink in
I think thinking too much is overrated, so I'll have a drink instead.

Watch me come undone
Watch me lose control and unravel.

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
The world is selling things that can harm and deceive.

I pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
I hope you won't witness me at my worst.

If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
If I ever wrong you, I know you'll take pleasure in getting back at me.

Because I'm scum
I see myself as lowly or worthless.

And I'm your son
Nonetheless, I am still your child.

So rock and roll so corporate suit
I can be both rebellious and conformist at the same time.

So damn ugly, so damn cute
I have traits that can be perceived as both attractive and repulsive.

So well trained, so animal
I can be both disciplined and instinctual.

So need your love, so fuck you all
I long for your affection, but I'm also defiant to everyone else.

I'm not scared of dying I just don't want to
I am not afraid of death, I simply do not desire it.

If I stop lying I'd just disappoint you
If I were to be honest, it would let you down.

So write another ballad
I'll create another piece of music.

Mix it on a Wednesday
I'll produce it on a specific day of the week.

Sell it on a Thursday
I'll market and sell it on another specific day of the week.

Buy a yacht by Saturday
I'll make a lot of money from it by the end of the week.

It's a love song
It's a song about love.

Do another interview
I'll participate in another public Q&A session.

Sing a bunch of lies
I'll make false or exaggerated statements during the interview.

Tell about celebrities that I despise
I'll share my negative opinions of famous people.

And sing love songs
Despite my negative feelings, I'll still write songs about love.

So sincere
I'll create my songs and interviews in a genuine manner.

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
The world still sells harmful and deceptive things.

The young pretend you're in the clouds above the sea
The naive and innocent aspire to something better than reality.

I come undone, I am scum, love your son
I am coming apart and feel worthless, but I hope you'll still love me as your child.

You've gotta love your son
No matter what, a parent should love their child.

I am scum
Once again, I feel worthless or lowly.

I am scum
A final emphasis on my feelings of being worthless.
