Debbie Downer

Tell me when you’re getting bored and I’ll leave
I’m not the one who put
The chain around your feet
I’m sorry for all of my insecurities
But they’re just part of me
“Envy is thin because it bites but never eats”
That’s what a nice old spanish lady once told me
“Hey debbie-downer turn that frown upside down
And just be happy”. I don’t ask too much of you
It’s true and I can’t read your mind
Don’t stop listening I’m not finished yet
I’m not fishing for your compliments
I’m growing older every time I blink my eyes:
Boring, neurotic, everything that I despise
We had some lows we had some mids we had some highs…
Sell me all your golden rules and I’ll
See if that’s the kind of person that I wanna be
If I’m not happy I’ll be glad I kept receipts
I won’t ask too much of you, I used to wonder what to wear.
Don’t stop listening I’m not finished yet
I’m not fishing for your compliments.
