Don't Let The Neighbourhood Hear Lyrics

What if I never told you my name?
What if we hadn't leaned in to touch?
What if my life didn't end up this way?
Would I be set on fire?
What if I could be someone you love?
Would I be happy now?

I wish I had a motorbike
Would only wanna race it (only wanna race it)
I wish that you could make me smile
'Cause I can't even fake it (never wanna fake it)
Fake it, fake, fake it
Fake it, now

So don't let the neighborhood hear
Just how fucked up it's gotten here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
"Am I not good enough?"
Don't let the neighborhood hear
Just how fucked up it's gotten here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
"Am I not good enough?"

Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
To be loved by you

What if I drew your mouth open wide?
What if you loosen up, let me inside?
What if generations made you this way?
(What if I do, what if I don't?)
What if we end up doing the same?
(Shut up)

I wish I had a motorbike
Would only wanna race it (only wanna race it)
I wish that you could make me smile
'Cause I can't even fake it (never wanna fake it)
Fake it, fake, fake it
Fake it, now

So don't let the neighborhood hear
Just how fucked up it's gotten here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
"Am I not good enough?"
Don't let the neighborhood hear
Just how fucked up it's gotten here
Screaming at the top of our lungs
"Am I not good enough?"

Am I not good enough to be loved by you?
Am I not good enough to be loved by you?

You gave me all of the dark that I got
But I would never dare to give up
You put my hopes to the back of a box
But I would never dare to give up
You told me everything's gonna fuck up
But I would never dare to give up
Give up on you
Give up on me
