Lyrics

Lemons

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.

There's a billion people on this planet that you could bother

But for some reason you chose me

I wish I could give you the attention that you ordered

But I just don't have the energy

And maybe I'm the one that's being overdramatic

But I don't think so

I do know for a fact, though, that you're a definite coward

And I think it might be time for you to go

You're a sour little boy

With a fragile masculinity

You saw me as your toy

Now that I'm not, you abuse me

You're a sour little boy

Absolutely no fun

You saw me as your toy

Now that I am not, you throw a tantrum

When life gives me lemons (l-e-m)

I don't make lemonade (o-n-s)

I use them to make you cry (l-e-m-o-n-s)

Can't process my feelings (l-e-m)

Made 'em circle the drain (o-n-s)

So tonight I'm gonna ruin your life (l-e-m-o-n-s)

When life gives you lemons

You don't make lemonade

You use them to make girls cry

You take those lemons

No sugar at all

And you squirt it right into our eyes

When life gives you lemons

You don't make lemonade

You use them to make girls cry

You take those lemons

No sugar at all

And you squirt it right into our eyes

I've tried to remain patient with your stupid shenanigans

But you've given me no other choice

You've tried to knock me over by acting like you're above me

And pretending that I don't have a voice

And I don't wanna encourage your abusive behaviour

But I just can't let you win

I'm legitimately tired of being walked all over

By these insecure babies who think that they're men

Had a breakdown in the evening

Lying underneath the ceiling

So I'm gonna take it out on you

Too proud to show I'm hurting

Push it on you till you're burning

That's the only thing that I know how to do

And I don't wanna be a baby 'cause it's shameful

Won't admit that I'm just jealous of the way you move

Through my words like you're bulletproof

I'm a sour little boy

With a fragile masculinity

Insecure, destroyed

Anytime that you're above me

You're a sour little boy

Absolutely no fun

You saw me as your toy

Now that I'm not, you throw a tantrum

When life gives me lemons

I don't make lemonade

I use them to make you cry

Can't process my feelings

Made 'em circle the drain

So tonight, I'm gonna ruin your life

When life gives you lemons

You don't make lemonade

You use them to make girls cry

You take those lemons

No sugar at all

And you squirt it right into our eyes

You may be the bigger person but I'm louder

(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

I'll do everything to hurt you in my power

(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

Just because you're confident I think you're shallow

(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

Here's a slice of humble pie for you to swallow

(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

You may be the bigger person, but I'm louder

(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

I'll do everything to hurt you in my power

(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

Just because you're confident I think you're shallow

(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

Here's a slice of humble pie for you to swallow

(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

Sour little boy
