Recess - Melanie Martinez

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 (Ooh)

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 (Ooh)

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 (Ooh)

Don’t let them hurt you, baby

Just say «Recess, I’m tired»
