The 1975 - Sincerity Is Scary lyrics

Irony is okay, I suppose culture is to blame
You try and mask your pain
In the most postmodern way
You lack substance when you
Say something like, "Oh, what a shame"
It's just a self-referential way that stops
You having to be human
I'm assuming you'll balloon when
You remove the dirty
Spoon and start consuming like a human
That's what I am assuming

I'm sure that you're not just another girl
I'm sure that you're gonna say
That I was sexist
I feel like you're running out of all
The things I liked you for

Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?
Because it always ends with
Us hating each other
Instead of calling me out
You should be pulling me in
I've just got one more thing to say

And why would you believe you
Could control how you're perceived
When at your best you're intermediately
Versed in your own feelings?
Keep on putting off conceiving
It's only you that you're deceiving
Oh, don't have a child
Don't cramp your style, i'll leave it

Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?
Because it always ends with
Us hating each other
Instead of calling me out
You should be pulling me in
I've just got one more thing to say

I'm just pissed off because you pied me off
After your show when you let go of my hand
In front of some sket who wanted bit on your
Nah, I’m just messing
