Lyric

INSTEAD

MOODY

I’d like to say ‘Fuck you’ to your face

I won’t, I won’t

I’d like to text ‘Your jokes were cruel and lame'

I won’t, I won’t

I’d like to empty the small pond that you swim in

I won’t, I won’t

I will sing it instead

I’ll delete it instead

I’ll forget you instead

Cause your world is so small

Yet mine is never ending

Your thoughts are so narrow

Yet mine are forever expanding

Your life is so fake and dull

Mine, it’s fucking fantastic

So, no, I won’t tell you these things

Won’t send another prayer

Won’t give another chance

No, I won’t tell you these things

Won’t waste another breath

I will pity you instead

Instead

Instead

Instead

Instead

(Instead...)

I really feel sorry for you

Can’t stick to the truth

Gotta hide in falsehood

So caught in your own web

Made of foes and no friends

How fitting an end

Cause you chose to lie instead

Burn bridges instead

Be petty instead

So I won’t send another prayer

Won’t waste another breath

I will pity you instead

Instead

'INSTEAD' was born in the wake of a breakup.
It channels the raw emotion of a healing heart. This song marks a journey of personal growth, overcoming small-mindedness and knowing one's worth. It is a celebration of taking the highroad and reaching new horizons.

From the ballad-style rolling beat to the 90's Britpop guitar, this song is delicate yet powerful. It transitions from soft beginnings and crescendos into an arena-filling instrumental section.

So drive at dusk, forget your ex and blast 'INSTEAD'.
