- Overrated Lyrics / with translationsWould you hate me
If I stuttered?
Would you make me
Walk out of the door
Are you worried
To discover
All the things about me
You don't know
Keep me, keep me,
Keep me, and keep me
Overrated, overrated
I'm jaded in this God damn world
Overrated, overrated
Long enough to keep me
And discover
Can't you see my life
As something more,
And paint me
In a color
You swear you've never seen before
Keep me, keep me
Keep me, and keep me
Overrated, overrated
I'm jaded in this God damn world
Overrated, overrated
Long enough to keep me
In this state of grace,
In this perfect place
Where you see me
In unreality
Please keep me, keep me,
Keep me, and lead me
Overrated, overrated
I'm jaded in this God damn world
Overrated, overrated
Long enough to keep me
If I stuttered?
Would you make me
Walk out of the door
Are you worried
To discover
All the things about me
You don't know
Keep me, keep me,
Keep me, and keep me
Overrated, overrated
I'm jaded in this God damn world
Overrated, overrated
Long enough to keep me
And discover
Can't you see my life
As something more,
And paint me
In a color
You swear you've never seen before
Keep me, and keep me
Overrated, overrated
I'm jaded in this God damn world
Overrated, overrated
Long enough to keep me
In this state of grace,
In this perfect place
Where you see me
In unreality
Please keep me, keep me,
Keep me, and lead me
Overrated, overrated
I'm jaded in this God damn world
Overrated, overrated
Long enough to keep me
