YELLOW PAINT

Don’t wanna be friends forever

Think your deal’s almost done

You were marshal at the end of our road and I think you should know,

It stopped being fun


I don’t care about my birthday

You celebrate me but it’s just for fun

It is what it is then I won’t have your joy

when you were the cause of all my harm


So say you mean it, release our knots

I’ve untied mine, you’re never in my thoughts


Cause you’re sunshine every single day

You fill the room with yellow paint

But only I can smell the fumes

Light me up I’ll be the fuse

And you’re rosy when it turns to grey

All our friends have never stayed

Boys melt away like rain

Girls like us don’t vibe anyway


Take back the song I gave you,

You can have this one instead

If you wanna be woman then comes as you are, I don’t fight toddlers who lie to get far


So if you want it, take a breath

Release your story, put down your pen


Cause you’re sunshine every single day

You fill the room with yellow paint

But only I can smell the fumes

Light me up I’ll be the fuse

And you’re rosy when it turns to grey

All our friends have never stayed

Boys melt away like rain

Girls like us don’t vibe anyway
