about

a big frick you to the people who have hurt me and made me feel small (and to anyone who tells me to say the word "like" less)

lyrics

knees weak, ankles cracking
i've got a knack for making my way back to
the things i thought weren't right for me
the things i know that are making me feel

pain in my chest and my head is spinning,
you made it clear i wasn't welcome here
why do i keep thinking about being there?
why do i keep thinking about being there?

why do moths
gather round the light,
when it's so bright? and why do i?
why do i
stick around
when i know it's not right for me, not right?

your words cut like knives
my thoughts are tiny lives that i am cultivating,
even when you are infuriating me
i'm holding my ground this time

don't try to say that it's nothing
don't even try to tell me anything
don't say you are without any blame
don't say you are the one who's never to blame

why do i
stick around
when it's not right for me, not right?

it's like a moth to a flashlight
it's like a mouse to my cat
it's like i'm never coming back
it's like you know i'm gonna be right back

it's like a fly to the honey
it's like my face to the sunlight
it's like i gotta get away from you
it's like why can't i stay away from you?

it's like i'm a bug on the wall
it's like i'm something so small
it's like just another bad phone call
it's like i'm nothing at all

it's like i don't wanna hide
it's like where the fuck is my pride?
it's like how many times have i tried?
it's like i'm holding my ground this time

it's like i'm not running away
it's like i won't bend to what you say
it's like you're not gonna have it your way
it's like without you i'm gonna be okay

it's like i'm holding my ground
it's like you better not come around
it's like you better not show your face around
this part of town

this part of town
this part of town
you better not come around
ever again

ever again
ever again
you better not come around
ever again
