stay alone

de Lil Darkie

The sunlight on my skin, the breeze through my hair
I wish I could be with you, if I could be anywhere
Sometimes, I close my eyes and imagine that I'm there
Somewhere I matter to you, but life's not very fair, so I'll stay alone

I don't wanna rock the boat or blow up your phone
The other kids are outside playin' ball, but I'll stay at home
Growin' up, other people's sentences
Felt like they were made of sticks and stones

I guess people like me are better off alone

I've been pushed around since I could remember
I wish you could respect me for the things I provide
And what anger and sadness decide to subside
Do you regret the way you treated me while we were alive?
Who put that food on your plate?
Who stayed up talking on the phone, when we shouldn't be awake, up late?
Lettin' our trauma bear it's teeth
Fightin' with eachother, didn't see you for weeks, I'm alone

The sunlight on your skin, the breeze through your hair
I wish I could be with you, if I could be anywhere
Sometimes, I close my eyes and imagine that I'm there
Somewhere I matter to you, but life's not very fair, so I'll stay alone

I don't wanna rock the boat or blow up your phone
The other kids are outside playin' ball, but I'll stay at home
Growin' up, other people's sentences felt like they were made of sticks and stones
I guess people like me are better off alone
