Melanie Martinez - Recess lyrics

I was too young to see the truth
In my grandma's lap
I'm drowning in her perfume
Too naive to even care
'Bout the words she whispered while
She brushed out my hair

People gonna say if you need a break
Someone'll take your place people gonna try
To tell you that you're fine
With dollars in their eyes (Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (O oh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done
Everything I wanted has come to fruition
I should be happy but I can't get out my bed
Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin'
Inside my head

People gonna say if you need a break
Someone'll take your place people gonna try
To tell you that you're fine
With dollars in their eyes (Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (O oh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say "Recess, I'm tired"

Where has my time gone and my mind gone?
I can't find euphoria when I get upset
I think in my head back to what she said

People gonna say if you need a break
Someone'll take your place people gonna try
To tell you that you're fine
With dollars in their eyes (Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (O oh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say "Recess, I'm tired"
