Lyrics

They think they put me back into my place
But everybody better start actin' their age
'Cause I've been on the phone every day with another person
Talkin' 'bout my motives like I did this just to hurt someone
But I'll take it 'cause I know that you're grievin'
Just tell me all about myself 'til I start to believe it
I know everybody deals in different ways
Just keep on talkin' shit and I'll just keep on makin' waves
That's how I cope, they think I think I'm Jesus
But if I make a new religion, I just wanna be the Pope
I wanna be somethin' that brings you hope
But first, I gotta focus on myself for a second, for a second
I don't think you know all the stories
That you're stretchin' aren't true
But if you do, shame on you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
The world doesn't give me what's worth holdin' onto
Save all that for everybody else
Just tell me why I
Went quiet for a few days
'Cause they don't see that it's a lose-lose
But every time that my phone rings
I just brace myself for more bad news
And I'm not sure who needs me now
I know I shouldn't be so worried about
People I don't even trust
They don't know the story but don't give a fuck
Just my luck, but I keep on pushin' through
And I've been tryna act strong, but I don't know for you
You can take all my words and throw 'em back at me, it's fine
But Jesus Christ, let me focus on myself for a second, for a second
I don't think you know all the stories
That you're stretchin' aren't true
But if you do, shame on you (Shame on you)
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
The world doesn't give me what's worth holdin' onto
Tell yourself that everybody's wrong
I'll keep trying to sort through the wreckage of you
You might think I owe you somethin', but I owe you nothin'
You owe me four hundred dollars and a new space helmet
Did you think I'd forget it? So, credit or debit?
No, I'm kidding, don't sweat it, really, I can let it go
I've said all that I need to say to you and I can't hold grudges
It's just not who I am, but who are you? I thought I knew
I honestly wish you luck, but I wish you'd grow up too
But first, I gotta focus on myself for a second, for a second
I don't think you know all the stories
That you're stretchin' aren't true
But if you do, shame on you (Shame on you)
You can tell everybody that this is your song
The world doesn't give me what's worth holdin' onto
I let go of everybody else
Tell me why it took so long to let go of
You can tell everybody that this is your song
The world doesn't give me what's worth holdin' onto
I let go of everybody else
