Lyrics

[Intro]

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

[Verse 1]

Rose-colored boy

I hear you making all that noise about the world you want to see

And, oh, I'm so annoyed

'Cause I just killed off what was left of the optimist in me

[PreChorus]

And, ooh, hearts are breaking, and wars are raging on

And I have taken my glasses off

You got me nervous, I'm right at the end of my rope

A half-empty girl, don't make me laugh, I'll choke

[Chorus]

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey, man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

[PostChorus]

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

[Verse 2]

Now I want you to stop insisting that I'm not a lost cause

'Cause I've been through a lot

Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off

If it's all right by you

[PreChorus]

But hearts are breaking and wars are raging on

And I have taken my glasses off

You got me nervous when you're turning it into a joke

A half-empty girl, don't make me laugh, I'll

[Chorus]

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey, man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

[Bridge]

Leave me here a little bit longer

I think I wanna stay in the car

I don't want anybody seeing me cry now

You say we gotta look on the bright side

I say, "Well, maybe if you wanna go blind"

You say my eyes are getting too dark now

But, boy, you ain't ever seen my mind

[Chorus]

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey, man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

[Chorus]

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

I know we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

[Outro]

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather
