Lyrics The Life of an Artist - McCafferty

I wish that I had courage
I wish that I had fight
You wish that you had people
Who loved you in your life
I wish my brain was normal
As an artist I am stuck
Between the line of poverty
And being poor as fuck

But I will use my words as tools
To help people who think like me
And I will use my brain and tongue
To try to do this music thing
And I will make this song
And show you all that I am not useless
I am more than I was
I am more than I was

I could be much better than I was
And the life of an artist is a truly brutal one
But I have the stupid songs I have to sing
And I'm making the choice to not fuck up everything
And my father's words they always stuck with me
"Be who you wanna be
Sing what you wanna sing"
"Be who you wanna bе
Sing what you wanna sing"
"Be who you wanna be
Sing what you wanna sing"

I could be much bеtter than I was
And the life of an artist is a truly special one
But I have the stupid songs I have to sing
And I'm making the choice to not fuck up everything
And my father's words they always stuck with me
"Be who you wanna be
Sing what you wanna sing"
"Be who you wanna be
Sing what you wanna sing"
"Be who you wanna be
Sing what you wanna sing"
