lyrics

I used to live my life like Becky Sharp
Playing Snakes and Ladders, and breaking hearts
But now it’s all backfired, and I’m back at the start
And all it does is tear me, all it does is tear me apart

I used to tell myself that I don’t care at all
And all my cruel intentions, wouldn’t have to answer for
But now the floor’s the ceiling though I’ve still got space to fall
And I don’t wanna do this, do this no more

Cos I’m an amateur, oh, and you’re a pro
And I’m left scrambling, while you’re in the zone
I’m an amateur, yeah, and you’re a pro
And I’m not managing, to hold my own
With every move you’re making
Can’t you see I’m breaking
As I sit here waiting by the phone
Like an amateur

I used to pride myself on being cool
Making bad decisions, and breaking all the rules
But now it’s come full-circle, I’m left feeling like a fool
And all it’s doing is making, making me ill

Cos I’m an amateur, oh, and you’re a pro
And I’m left scrambling, while you’re in the zone
I’m an amateur, yeah, and you’re a pro
And I’m not managing, to hold my own
With every move you’re making
Can’t you see I’m breaking
As I sit here waiting by the phone

You’re the best, and I’m just out of my depth, while you’re cruising
You’re on top but I don’t know when to stop, though I’m losing

I’m an amateur, oh, and you’re a pro
And I’m left scrambling, while you’re in the zone
I’m an amateur, yeah, and you’re a pro
And I’m not managing, to hold my own
With every move you’re making
Can’t you see I’m breaking
As I sit here waiting by the phone

And every breath I’m taking
Always more frustrating
As I lie awake here on my own

And my heart is aching
To be so mistaken
When you set the pace I should’ve known

I’m an amateur
