Sincerity Is Scary The 1975 Lyrics

[00:00.54] "SINCERITY IS SCARY"

[00:53.30] And irony's okay, I suppose

[00:55.67] Culture is to blame

[00:57.67] You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way

[01:02.93] You lack substance when you say

[01:05.02] Something like, "Oh, what a shame"

[01:08.18] It's just a self-referential way

[01:10.62] That stops you having to be human

[01:13.20] I'm assuming you'll balloon

[01:15.82] When you remove the dirty spoon

[01:18.53] And start consuming like a human

[01:21.27] That's what I am assuming

[01:23.86] I'm sure that you're not just another girl

[01:28.85] I'm sure that you're gonna say that that was sexist

[01:34.23] I feel like you're running out

[01:38.05] Of all the things I liked you for

[01:43.93] Why can't we be friends when we are lovers?

[01:49.03] 'Cause it always ends with us hating each other

[01:53.65] Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in

[01:59.77] I've just got one more thing to say

[02:06.06] And why would you believe you could control how you're perceived

[02:11.16] When at your best, you're intermediately versed in your own feelings?

[02:16.54] Keep on putting off conceiving

[02:19.28] It's only you that you're deceiving

[02:21.56] Oh, don't have a child, don't cramp your style, I'll leave it

[02:26.05] Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?

[02:31.37] 'Cause it always ends with us hating each other

[02:36.12] Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in

[02:41.63] I've just got one more thing to say

[02:47.87] I'm just pissed off because you pied me off

[02:54.94] After your show when you let go of my hand

[03:01.75] In front of some sket who wanted bit on your

[03:09.10] Nah, I'm just messing
