about

This song for u/StiffSheets. He wanted a song about the politics of being a teenager. It's difficult to keep everyone in your social life happy and sometimes it's just better to be yourself and happy than try to bend backwards to please others. People worth having in our lives accept us for exactly what we are.

lyrics

So you tell me
that there's no spark and I plead
"I can change my ways for you
if that's what you want me to do."

I'll be a ghost for you.
Skin paler than white you can see through
and when we kiss my lips will be cold,
but you can't feel it anyway.

And my friends
were glad to see this bitter end.
Oh so fickle, so they'd pretend
to feel anything at all.

But that's not me.
I've got a heart and it bleeds.
I think being numb is pretty fucking dumb.
Wouldn't you agree?

Because I want to believe that life could be less profane.
I don't think it's naive to think we could all transcend.
Life could be beautiful if we could all just relate.
but until then, I guess haters gonna hate.

In the mirror in the bathroom,
I slowly watch myself bloom
over the years
and it becomes clear to me who I wanna be.

And if I've learned anything
it's that people can be fleeting.
Take them as they come,
still love them when they go,
that's all we can do.
