My grandpa fought in World War II
He was such a noble dude
I can't even finish school
Missed my mom and left too soon
His dad was a fireman
Who fought fires so violent
I think I bored my therapist
While playing him my violin
(Oh, my God) that's so insane
(Oh, my God) that's such a shame
Next to them, my shit don't feel so grand
But I can't help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like two things can be sad (one, two, three, four)
The world's smallest violin really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon (that's right, that's right)
I'll blow up into smithereens and spew my tiny symphony
Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you
My grandpa fought in World War II
And he was such a noble dude
Man, I feel like such a fool
I got so much left to prove
All my friends have vaping friends
They're so good at making friеnds
I'm so scared of caving in
Is that entertaining yеt?
(Oh, my God) that's so insane
(Oh, my God) that's such a shame
Next to them, my shit don't feel so grand
But I can't help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like two things can be sad
The world's smallest violin really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon (that's right, that's right)
I'll blow up into smithereens and spew my tiny symphony
Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you
Somewhere in the universe
Somewhere, someone's got it worse
Wish that made it easier
Wish I didn't feel the hurt
The world's smallest violin really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon
I'll blow up into smithereens and spew my tiny symphony
All up and down a city street while tryna put my mind at ease
Like finishing this melody, this feels like a necessity
So this could be the death of me or maybe just a better me
Now come in with the timpanis and take a shot of Hennessy
I know I'm not there mentally, but you could be the remedy
So let me play my violin for you
