Lyrics

Low key no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather

Rose-colored boy
I hear you makin all that noise
About the world you want to see
And I’m so annoyed
Cause I just killed off what was left
Of the optimist in me
Hearts are breaking
Wars are raging on
And I have taken
My glasses off
You got me nervous
I’m right at the end of my rope
A half-empty girl
Don’t make me laugh, I’ll choke

Just let me cry!
A little bit longer
I ain’t gon smile
If I don’t want to
Hey man, we all can’t be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored, too
My rose-colored boy

Low key no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather

And I want you to stop
Insisting that I’m not
A lost cause
Cause I been through a lot
Really all I’ve got is just to stay pissed off
If it’s alright by you

But hearts are breaking
And wars are raging on
And I have taken
My glasses off
You got me nervous
When you’re turning it into a joke
A half-empty girl
Don’t make me laugh, I’ll…

Just let me cry!
A little bit longer
I ain’t gon smile
If I don’t want to
Hey man, we all can’t be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored, too
My rose-colored boy

Leave me here a little bit longer
I think I wanna stay in the car
I don’t want anybody seeing me cry now
You say we gotta look on the bright side
I say well maybe if you wanna go blind
You say my eyes are getting too dark now
But boy you ain’t ever seen my mind

Just let me cry!
A little bit longer
I ain’t gon smile
If I don’t want to
Hey man, we all can’t be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored, too
My rose-colored boy

Just let me cry!
A little bit longer
I ain’t gon smile
If I don’t want to
Hey man, we all can’t be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored, too
My rose-colored boy
