Pay No Mind (feat. Passion Pit)

She was dancing, she was smiling, roses blooming on her cheeks In a quiet kind of litany, she accepted some defeat And then she twirled into the arms of disgrace and then repelled Now she's fallen to her knees, but you couldn't ever tell And then, she asks me how we got here I told her, "I don't know" And if you keep on asking, I'll just keep saying so This isn't what I wanted, it isn't what you need Oh, let them keep on talking, just calm yourself and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Now, don't you pay them any mind Where the burdens of her mother weigh like sandbags on the eyes As she closes just to open as the sirens whirling by And now she's off to tell a secret to a friend somewhere in town And her friend just takes a moment, and asks why I'm not around Darling, this is something I should've told you long ago I just want you to feel safe, I just wanna make you glow Oh, how you glowed when we were young, and with nothing on our minds But each other, one another and we had nothing then but time And then, she asks me how we got here I told her, "I don't know" And if you keep on asking, I'll just keep saying so This isn't what I wanted, it isn't what you need Oh, let them keep on talking, just calm yourself and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Now, don't you pay them any mind Oh, why do we have to go through this every time? Some days you hear it (don't listen, I'll carry you) Some days you don't (don't listen, oh no) Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, help me) Sometimes you won't, just calm yourself and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Now, don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Now, don't you pay them any mind
