i don’t feel much of anything now
plum summer’s winding down
sweet days in a humid haze
i know that nothing stays the same
will you love me when i’m not fun?
dye my roots to replace the sun
my brain is melting and my bones are too
but i feel better when i’m with you
chew me up and spit me out
i feel better on the ground
save the sweetness and ignore the sound
i’m bitter now but i’ll come around
just let me feel it out
little pink pills to help me breathe
i’m not scared but i can’t think
the pavement’s warm but i’m trapped in ice
plum summer, will you please be nice?
will you please be nice?
chew me up and spit me out
i feel better on the ground
save the sweetness and ignore the sound
i’m bitter now but i’ll come around
just let me feel it out
just let, let me feel it out
just let, let, let me feel it out
just let, let me feel it (all) out
(x2)
(i don’t, don’t wanna let you down, just know i’m doing my best right now, i don’t, don’t wanna let you down)
chew me up and spit me out
i feel better on the ground
save the sweetness and ignore the sound
i’m bitter now but i’ll come around
just let me feel it out

well i didn’t think i’d still be here
after all this time
and i know i said i wasn’t mad
but i lied
i learned from the best
now i’m laying you to rest
i’m tired, i’m tired, i’m tired
i’m tired of crying about some misogynistic creep! (ew!)
my therapist knows all about you
and that’s not a good thing
i’m done trying to hide the way i’m feeling
don’t be so naïve
you won’t be the death of me
i’ve grown stronger than
i ever thought i could be
i swear i saw you in chicago
on the street last may
and it took all my self restraint
not to curse your name
it wouldn’t matter if i did
you’d still treat me like a kid
i’m tired, so tired, i’m tired
i’m tired of thinking about this sorry excuse for a man! (ugh!)
my therapist knows all about you
and that’s not a good thing
i’m done trying to hide the way i’m feeling
don’t be so naïve
you won’t be the death of me
i’ve grown stronger than
i ever thought i could be
i’ve wondered so long what it was i did wrong
but now i see so clear
from the depths of my lungs to the sting on my tongue, i refuse to live in fear
(x2)
my therapist knows all about you
and that’s not a good thing
i’m done trying to hide the way i’m feeling
don’t be so naïve
you won’t be the death of me
i’ve grown stronger than
i ever thought i could be

bubblegum for breakfast
maybe it can sweeten the things
i say about myself
i don’t wanna feel like this
i don’t wanna put myself through hell
oh what’s the use? what’s the use?
i’m so bored of poking at my skin
there’s gotta be more than this
state i’m living in
i’m gonna love myself like i’m holy
cause at the end of the day i only
get so much time
so i wanna feel iridescent while i’m alive
every fold and every stripe
is a well earned battle scar
so i’m though with loathing
the body that’s gotten me this far
i’m gonna love myself like i’m holy
cause at the end of the day i only
get so much time
so i wanna feel iridescent while i’m alive
i’m the smell before it rains
small but indicative of something great
maybe i’m getting by on spite
but i have a feeling things will be alright
i’m gonna love myself like i’m holy
cause at the end of the day i only
get so much time
so i wanna feel iridescent while i’m alive
