Melanie Martinez - Piggyback lyrics

I was three years old
All I wanted was the music
And my parents were doing
Everything they could
To move away from our place
Working overtime always while I sat up in my
Grandma's project building coloring
Oh, moved to a small town and started to
Started to grow
Poetry written, I'm singing and dancing, oh
Photographs, painting, cartoons
That's all I know, that's all I know, oh

I have one best friend to
This very fucking day
Since we were five years old
And I fucking moved away
I wish I never did 'cause she's
The only one who sees me
For who I really am instead
Of how many I reach, oh
Trusted too many fake people while
I was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt
I was so wrong i cut them off and they came
For blood 'cause they know
They ain't getting no more

I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh oh
Swear to god, I wished y'all all the best, oh
You're lying your way to try to
Gain a piece of me
When you could never come close
'cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you're trying to kill my
Name for some fame, what is this?
Tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you
Used that to your advantage

Now I'm 22 and I've had
A crazy year of isolation
From all the plastic people here
I cannot wait for the day
I can finally move away
Back to New York City where
The realest people really stay
Oh, spent this whole time writing away
My heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with
Have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that
We hold so close trying to learn and evolve

I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh oh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh
You're lying your way to try to
Gain a piece of me
When you could never come close
'cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you're trying to kill my
Name for some fame, what is this?
Tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you
Used that to your advantage

I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh
You're lying your way to try to
Gain a piece of me
When you could never come close
'cause I know my destiny
