"Favourite Daughter" lyrics - LORDE

[Intro:]
Ah

I was a singer
You were my fan
When no one gave a damn
It was you in the dark
Scared of your anger
In love with your whim
Some notes I don't hit
But I don't give up

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now every day, the plane takes off
And every night, the room fills up with
People who are convinced I'm not
Just some kid fakin' it for your love

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya
Breaking my back just to be your favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya
Breaking my back just hoping you'll say I'm a star

You had a brother, I look like him
You told us as kids
"He died of a broken heart"
And for every door you open
There's a room I can't go in
I break in, I still can't find you

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now that every day, the plane takes off
And every night the room fills up
I tell myself that soon we'll talk
Then I sing every word just to ya

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya
Panic attack just to be your favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya
Breaking my back to carry the weight of your heart

[Bridge:]
But I keep dancing till I get sick
Why'd you have to dream so big?
Why did no one listen when you hit the notes from your heart?

[Breakdown:]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

[Chorus:]
I'm a good actress, look at the medals I won for ya
So you could imagine being a favourite daughter
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya
Breaking my back just to be as brave as my mother
