Am Everybody’s so punk on the internet,
C everyone’s unbothered ’til they’re not,
G every joke’s just trolling and memes,
sad as it seems, apathy is hot.
Am Everybody’s cutthroat in the comments,
C every single hot take is cold as Gice,
when you found me, I said I was busy,
that was a lie.
Am I have been afflicted by a Cterminal uniqueness,
I’ve been Glying, always trying to seem cool.
But AmI’m not a misfit
and Cthis isn’t savage,
but I’m Gnever gonna let you down,
I’m never gonna leave you out.
AmSo many traitors,
Csmooth operators,
but I’m Gnever gonna break that vow,
I’m nеver gonna leave you nowAm,
nowC, nowG…
Am You know, thе last time I laughed this hard was
C on the trampoline in somebody’s backyardG,
I must’ve been about eight or nine,
that was the night I fell off and broke my arm.
Am Pretty soon I learned cautious discretion,
C when your first crush crushes somethin’ kindG,
when I said I don’t believe in marriage
that was a lie.
AmEvery eldest daughter was the Cfirst lamb sent to danger
so we Gall dressed up as wolves and we looked fire.
But AmI’m not a misfit
and Cthis isn’t savage,
but I’m Gnever gonna let you down,
I’m never gonna leave you out.
AmSo many traitors,
Csmooth operators,
but I’m Gnever gonna break that vow,
I’m nеver gonna leave you nowAm,
nowC, nowG…
We Dlie back,
a beautiful, beautiful Emtime-lapse,
ferris wheels, kisses, and Clilacs,
and things I said were Gdumb…
Cuz I thought that I’d never Dfind that
beautiful, beautiful Emlife that
shimmers that innocent Clight back
like when we were Gyoung.
AmEvery youngest child felt
they were Craised up in the wild
but now you’re Ghome..
But AmI’m not a misfit
and Cthis isn’t savage,
but I’m Gnever gonna let you down,
I’m never gonna leave you out.
AmSo many traitors,
Csmooth operators,
but I’m Gnever gonna break that vow,
(never gonna break that vow)
I’m nеver gonna leave you nowAm,
nowC, nowG…
Never gonna break that vow, (ohh)
I’m never gonna leave you nowAm, nowC,
I’m never gonna leave you nowG.
