recess

Melanie Martinez

I was still young to see the truth
In my grandma's lap drowning in her perfume
Too naive to even care
'Bout the words she whispers
While she brushed out my hair

People gonna say
"If you need a break someone will take your place"
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you anymore
Don't let them try
Don't let them hurt you, baby, just say
Recess! I'm tired

Sitting in my room looking at all I've done
Everything I wanted has come to fruition
I should be happy, but I can't get out my bed
Stressing 'bout the noise screaming inside my head

People gonna say
If you need a break someone will take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you anymore
Don't let them try
Don't let them hurt you, baby, just say
Recess! I'm tired

Where has my time gone
And my mind gone?
I can't find euphoria
When I get upset
I think in my head
Back to what she said

People gonna say
If you need a break someone will take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you anymore
Don't let them try
Don't let them hurt you, baby, just say
Recess! I'm tired
