Jessie Reyez - No One's In The Room

Lyrics to No One's In The Room by Jessie Reyez

[Verse 1] I'd go to church every Sunday But teenage love still took my virgin skin And the night after my first time I cried, 'cause I Thought Heaven wouldn't let me in Meanwhile the priest has got a boyfriend And lots of teachers smoke weed after school When you're young, they try to keep you in the cages but Most of them don't follow their own rules [Pre-Chorus] Spend your whole life being graded Being told you're not enough Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come But I don't wanna I need to talk to God, there's things I just don't understand [Chorus] Like who am I when no one's in the room? Who am I when no one's in the room? Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me? Or does it come from the clouds? Who am I when no one's in the room? (Hmm) [Verse 2] Go to school and get a good job Just to work your life away and pay your debts And even those who live their dreams out Cry 'cause all that glitters ain't what you expect Sometimes I don't want to sing no more Slit my throat and take my music back from evil men They can put my body in the ocean So I can die wearin' a smile and maybe find peace again [Pre-Chorus] Spend my whole life being graded Being told I'm not enough Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come But I don't wanna I need to talk to God, there's things I just don't understand [Chorus] Like who am I when no one's in the room? Who am I when no one's in the room? Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me? Or does it come from the clouds? Who am I when no one's in the room? (Hmm) [Bridge] Vices only pacify for the moment Vices that they made to hold our pain Vices only pacify for the moment Vices that they made to hold our pain [Pre-Chorus] Spend your whole life being graded Being told you're not enough Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come But I don't wanna I need to talk to God, there's things I just don't understand [Chorus] Like who am I when no one's in the room? Who am I when no one's in the room? Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me? Or does it come from the clouds? Who am I when no one's in the room? [Outro] Who am I when no one's in the room?
