Lyrics
Mainstream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't act like you know me
Don't act like you care
You think that you can hold
A version of me that's just not there
Why don't you try to read inside the lines
Instead of writing a story that's just not mine?
A fantasy of who you think I'll be
'Cause
Mainstream is overrated
Never felt appreciated
For all the things that I love
No, I never felt enough
Fuck all these expectations
Don't owe an explanation
For all the things that I love
No, I never felt enough
So done with this pretending
There's nothing left to lose
Spent most of my life mending
Thinkin' that I had to choose
Why don't you try to read inside the lines
Instead of writing a story that's just not mine?
A fantasy of who you think I'll be
'Cause
Mainstream is overrated
Never felt appreciated
For all the things that I love
No, I never felt enough
Fuck all these expectations
Don't owe an explanation
For all the things that I love
No, I never felt enough
Never feel what I feel
Is this body even real?
Bruised ribs, fine scars
Doin' what I can not to fall apart
Never feel what I feel
Is this body even real?
Bruised ribs, fine scars
Doin' what I can not to fall apart
You'll never feel what I feel
Is this body even real?
Bruised ribs, fine scars
Doin' what I can not to fall apart
Mainstream is overrated
Never felt appreciated
For all the things that I love
No, I never felt enough
Fuck all these expectations
Don't owe an explanation
For all the things that I love
No, I never felt enough
No, I never felt enough
Now I know that I'm enough
