F*** What They Say

(album: Blackheart Boulevard - 2018)

What up mike, name's Joey, how you doing, what's up witchu?
I know you busy and you probably got some stuff to do
But damn I really do relate to what you've struggled through
Shit honestly I've hardly got a buck or two
'Cause I just lost my fucking job and I can't take it
I guess they had a shortage at the gas station
And to be honest I don't even have a decent hobby
But through your lyrics I believe that I can be somebody

My daddy was a sucker too before he left my mom
That's why I zone out every second to your deck of songs
But you must get that all the time when someone message you
But I respect you dude, like fuck I just connect with you
And that ain't sexual, I mean you just inspire me
You made me see that I don't need approval from society
You give me strength when people tell me to quit
Fuck it I'm pissed, that's why your music's all the help I can get

If you want something in your life so bad
But still hold back
'Cause you're afraid of what the world might say
Fuck what they say to you
'Cause they can't help if they so selfish
'Cause nothing's ever going their way
For real though, fuck what they say
For real though, fuck what they say

I've played your songs for a friend of mine named Mary
You actually called her for her birthday back in January
That's why I spread a lot of your music every time I can
You give me hope and it's so sweet that you reply to fans
You never know it but you help my dreams unfold
A lot of way my name's Katie and I'm 19 years old
I used to play with razor blades to help me ease the pain
But then your songs like Baby Don't Cut made me feel again

You made me see the light when I would have no need to
And 'cause of that I am aspiring to be a ballerina
They used to say I couldn't do it 'cause it's too advanced
But I just got a letter of acceptance to a school of dance
I'd look into the mirror and just think I'm so unsuitable
But now the person staring back at me is beautiful
You give me strength when I'm finding hard
Or even hiding these scars, kindness regards, Katie

If you want something in your life so bad
But still hold back
'Cause you're afraid of what the world might say
Fuck what they say to you
'Cause they can't help if they so selfish
'Cause nothing's ever going their way
For real though, fuck what they say
For real though, fuck what they say
