Charli XCX’s “So I” lyrics

Always on my mind/every day, every night/your star burned so bright/why did I push you away/I was scared sometimes/you had a power like a lightning strike/when I’m onstage sometimes at night/say that I’m singing these songs you left behind/and I know you always said/it’s okay to cry/I can cry, I can cry, so I cry.

Wish I tried to pull you closer/you pushed me hard/made me focus/your words, brutal, loving, truthful, I was pushed too far/you’re a hero, and a human, trackwise, don’t I make excuses/you’d say come on, stay [unclear] and I’d say no I’m fine.

Always on my mind/every day every night/your star burned so bright/why did I push you away/I was scared sometimes/you had a power like a lightning strike/when i’m onstage sometimes at night/say that I”m singing these song you left behind/And I know you always said it’s okay to cry/so I know I can cry, I can cry, so I cry.

Guilty feelings keep me fractured/got a phone call after Christmas/didn’t know how I should act/I watched you burn so bright/your songs, your words, you’re gone, unless, when I make songs I remember things you’d suggest, make me feel [unclear] like this one/maybe just a little bit.

Always on my mind/every day every night/your star burned so bright/why did I push you away/I was scared sometimes/You had a power like a lightning strike/When I’m onstage sometimes at night/say that I’m singing these song you left behind/And I know you always said, it’s okay to cry/so I know I can cry, I can cry, so I cry.
