the prom

(album: i care so much that i dont care at all - 2023)

I skipped my high school prom
Now that part of me is gone
So I don't pick up my calls
At all, at all
And maybe, just maybe, I'm wrong
Or maybe I'm right and I won't see them for the rest of my life
Remember that night? When things were alright and I wasn't there and y'all didn't care

The look on my face said, "I'm lying, I'm lying," like
Oh, oh, why do I do that?

Oh, oh, why do I do that?

Oh, oh, why do I do that?

One day, I'll be the queen of something
Right now, I'm just the king of nothing

The look on my face said, "I'm lying, I'm lying," like
Oh, oh, why do I do that?

Oh, oh, why do I do that?
Oh, oh, why do I do that?
To myself, to everyone else
To my friends and everyone in between
Oh, oh, why do I do that?
Oh, oh, why do I do that?
It's complicated, yeah, I know
It's complicated, yeah, I know
