lyrics

Listen up you piece of shit
I've put up with you
And now I'm done with it
And unlike spinach
You don't taste gross or make me strong
I'll paint over the walls
Where we used to laugh
And hope every word I said to you
Can still be taken back
I'll rip off the petals to all your flowers
And I’ll just sit here
Still holding the thorns
I bleached my hair
Cause you prefer blondes
It's funny how you still change who I wanna be
I'm proud of who I am
As long as you are
My moral compass will always point to you
I'm just your average case
Of feeling out of place
But solitude don't make me feel half as alone as you do
Hey just a sec, give me some time
Cause if I squint real hard
You still remind me
Of the woman you had
Every fighting chance to be
This may sound redundant
As if I've said it all before
But you won't hear a word I say
Over the sound of a slamming door
A few months later
We'll interact
And from your high horse
You'll assume my heart is still intact
Well I've got some news
Both good and bad
Just cause this clown is always laughing
Doesn't mean it can't feel sad
This tear don’t make me a sad clown
This tear don’t make me a sad clown
This tear don’t make me a sad clown
Because this clown is always laughing
Doesn’t mean it can’t feel sad
