๐ Lyrics
I'm not here to give advice
Insert myself into your life
I know you're more than capable of that
Told me that you want to heal
You hate the way he makes you feel
And how you always end up crawling back
I'm yelling at a homemade wall
It's self defense, so you can fall
Without the gavel you think that I own
And so you're in the room you made
Conferring with the man you paid
To twist the strings of fate and lead him home
And I can turn my back and shield my eyes
Pretend that I don't see it
While you slowly lose your mind
You know I love you 'cuz I criticize
And if he loves you he won't make you cry
I won't tell you what to do
It's not my place to parent you
I'm here when things inevitably sour
You're walking down a well-worn path
This time's different; don't turn back
Ignore the thorns because you want the flower
And I can turn my back and shield my eyes
Pretend that I don't notice
How it cycles like the tides
You know I love you 'cuz I criticize
And if he loves you he won't make you cry
Say the word and I'm on my way
Fifteen minutes to your driveway
I won't mind the ride as long as we
Can play our Melanie Martinez song
Say the word I won't ask questions
Windows down as you forget him
I won't mind the ride as long as we
Can play our Melanie Martinez song
And I could turn my back and shield my eyes
But if and when he hurts you
I will be there every time
You know I love you 'cuz I criticize
I promise you one day you'll get it right
I won't mind the ride as long as we
Can play our Melanie Martinez song
Insert myself into your life
I know you're more than capable of that
Told me that you want to heal
You hate the way he makes you feel
And how you always end up crawling back
I'm yelling at a homemade wall
It's self defense, so you can fall
Without the gavel you think that I own
And so you're in the room you made
Conferring with the man you paid
To twist the strings of fate and lead him home
And I can turn my back and shield my eyes
Pretend that I don't see it
While you slowly lose your mind
You know I love you 'cuz I criticize
And if he loves you he won't make you cry
I won't tell you what to do
It's not my place to parent you
I'm here when things inevitably sour
You're walking down a well-worn path
This time's different; don't turn back
Ignore the thorns because you want the flower
And I can turn my back and shield my eyes
Pretend that I don't notice
How it cycles like the tides
You know I love you 'cuz I criticize
And if he loves you he won't make you cry
Say the word and I'm on my way
Fifteen minutes to your driveway
I won't mind the ride as long as we
Can play our Melanie Martinez song
Say the word I won't ask questions
Windows down as you forget him
I won't mind the ride as long as we
Can play our Melanie Martinez song
And I could turn my back and shield my eyes
But if and when he hurts you
I will be there every time
You know I love you 'cuz I criticize
I promise you one day you'll get it right
I won't mind the ride as long as we
Can play our Melanie Martinez song
