[Intro]
Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh
Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh

[Verse 1]
I could never have imagined you would fall in love with me
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
And I can’t convince myself that you would never want to leave (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Daddy, trauma has emasculated all my common sense
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
So I’m looking through the lens of an impending abandonment (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
All the voices in my head say I’m not worth the time you spent

(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
So I search for an escape before you notice your mistake
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that I could say, ayy (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
All this mess might go away-way-way

[Chorus]
I’m a constant work in progress (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
And I can’t keep fears at bay (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
And my mind is like a record (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Setup on auto-replay (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Replay (Replay)
Replay (Replay)
Replay (Replay)
Replay (Mm)
And my mind is like a record (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Setup on auto-replay (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

[Verse 2]
I’ve been guilty of the hero complex, lend a helping hand
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
But I’m realizing now that I’ve made my own quicksand
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

And my therapist has told me I’m not any good with help
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
I’m in lust with independence, I can only blame myself
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
There’s a fear that if my cape is taken, what use am I then?
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
I’m afraid of being lonely, I can hardly comprehend
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that I could say, ayy (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
All this mess might go away-way-way

[Chorus]
I’m a constant work in progress (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
And I can’t keep fears at bay (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
And my mind is like a record (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Setup on auto-replay (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Replay (Replay)
Replay (Replay)
Replay (Replay)
Replay (Mm)
And my mind is like a record (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Setup on auto-replay (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

[Verse 3]
I’m the best overachiever, there’s not anyone like me
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
And you think that was a good thing till you’re told that’s not healthy
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
You spend every waking hour working hard to write your will
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Patiently waiting for validation till you’re empty and unfulfilled
(Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh, pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that I could say, ayy (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
All this feelings go away-way-way (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

[Chorus]
I’m a constant work in progress (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
And I can’t keep fears at bay (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
And my mind is like a record (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)
Setup on auto-replay (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

And my mind is like a record (Pa-doo-boop-pa-pa, ooh)

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay
