Lyrics:

lyrics

Can't hear the sound
Of overstepping your bounds
You show up near me every day
Act like you wanna help me...
When you know that I'm ok
Your 'Nice Guy Syndrome' drives me right away

('Cos) When you're at my show
I don't need a host
and I think that you're forgetting
I do better than most
No, I don't wanna play in your shitty band
and there's nothing less attractive
than a pouty man

Don't get this...

You're a little misguided by that low-grade obsession with me
You think you keep it under wraps
but it's so, so easy to see
You've burned every little bridge
lashing out from that portable stage
You try to hook me back in
to your lies & your violence & rage

Well, you're charging me a fee
that I'm not gonna pay
Too much time on your hands
every single day
It looks like your money
won't save you this time
and you look like a JACKASS in those Vineyard Vines

Don't get this
You don't get this
You don't get this
No, no, this isn't for you

Say you care about me
[no you don't]
But you care about you
[only you]
Think you can convince me
[you wanna]
But I can see through you
[not gonna]

Your excuse to 'help' me
[and it's easy to see]
Is your excuse to see me
[you don't care about me]
Is your excuse to touch me
[I can see what you do]
But you don't get to have me
[no, this isn't for you]

I'm not serenading
[no you don't, no you don't]
While you sit there waiting
[and you won't, and you won't]
You can pay admission
[and it sucks to be you]
(I'm) not asking your permission
[No, this isn't for you]

[violin break]

I'm getting used to being happy
I'm already on my merry way
Choosing love over fear, it feels amazing
Na na na na na na na na naa naa

Don't get this
You don't get this
Don't get this
No, no, this isn't for you

NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO
