Melanie Martinez - Detention lyrics
[Melanie Martinez - Detention lyrics]
I'm not a bad guy
So don’t treat me bad if I'm feeling sad
Alright?
Please don't be mad if I don’t smile back
Alright? If I fuck up my words
Don't think I'm absurd, alright?
Alright?
I'm physically exhausted
Tired of my knuckles beating
I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness
Can't you see it?
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Don't care how I’m feeling
You write me up and say it’s love
And I can't believe it
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise
Fuck this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind
Did I mention?
Pretending everything’s alright is detention
De-de-detention de-de-detention
Pretending everything's alright is (Shh)
The teachers don't care about me
Fuck how I feel as long as I make money
They let them do whatever they want to me
They're the customer, I’m chopped meat
I'm chopped meat
I'm physically exhausted
Tired of my knuckles beating
I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness
Can't you see it?
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Don't care how I'm feeling
You write me up and say it's love
And I can't believe it
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise
Fuck this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind
Did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
De-de-detention de-de-detention
Pretending everything's alright is detention
I wanna go home and you say
"Now is not the time"
Fuck being all alone in
Back of the classroom, ah
Stop calling up my phone tryna say
That I've been out of line
When all I ever asked was
To go to the bathroom
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise
Fuck this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind
Did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
Tonight, I can feel your blood pressure rise
Let me crawl up into your mind
Pretending everything's alright
(Is detention)
So don’t treat me bad if I'm feeling sad
Alright?
Please don't be mad if I don’t smile back
Alright? If I fuck up my words
Don't think I'm absurd, alright?
Alright?
I'm physically exhausted
Tired of my knuckles beating
I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness
Can't you see it?
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Don't care how I’m feeling
You write me up and say it’s love
And I can't believe it
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise
Fuck this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind
Did I mention?
Pretending everything’s alright is detention
De-de-detention de-de-detention
Pretending everything's alright is (Shh)
The teachers don't care about me
Fuck how I feel as long as I make money
They let them do whatever they want to me
They're the customer, I’m chopped meat
I'm chopped meat
I'm physically exhausted
Tired of my knuckles beating
I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness
Can't you see it?
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Don't care how I'm feeling
You write me up and say it's love
And I can't believe it
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise
Fuck this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind
Did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
De-de-detention de-de-detention
Pretending everything's alright is detention
