lyrics

Verse 1:
There you are, tube socks and cutoff shorts that expose your knees
Reading a Harley Quinn book, giving your mixed looks as you please
Sulking in sin and strumming until your fingers fall off your hands
Cheating on me with your girlfriend or boyfriend, whatever the gender thinking I will understand

Chorus 1:
Don't shed one more tear, you're so naive
Trying to find your harmony
So impulsive, you crank your headphones louder 'cause
You couldn't give a fuck what I say so why the fuck am I still writing songs about ya

(So why the fuck am I still writing songs about ya)

Verse 2:
Puppet master with the strings, fooling how I feel
And feeding me to the wolves like some aging green banana peel
'Cause clearly this is all a game and you don't like the cards you got
But let's just call a spade a spade and count all your forget-me-nots

Chorus 2:
Don't shed one more tear, you're so naive
Trying to find your harmony
My tiny violin ain't playing louder 'cause
You couldn't give a fuck what I say so why the fuck am I still writing songs about ya

INSTRUMENTAL

(I've been trying so hard to write this song in so many different ways, but damn)

Verse 3:
You wallow in your own self pity, karma don't care if you're pretty
Thriving on a painful memory brewing in your bones
Stomping on hearts like a personal playground, merrily going round
I'm bleeding on these pages 'cause my pen just died an hour ago

(I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding, AAAAHHHH)

Chorus 3:
Don't shed one more tear, you're so naive
Trying to find your harmony
Wilt away with all the other flowers 'cause
You couldn't give a fuck what I say so why the fuck am I still writing songs about ya
