1ST VERSE:
i'm drained and exhausted
what about it?
if you ask me about my day
i'd likely reply "it was okay "
and ask about yours
you see, i'd be stuck on what to really say
the words fumble into nothing more
as i struggle to stay on the right path
always comes with minor shifts
most of the time
trust me, i'm fine
but there'll be a day or two
where i'll feel like shit
is that so bad, or is it ridiculous?
CHORUS:
all these social standards
it's just ridiculous
this shit is absurd
everything's all so slanted and backwards
i'm not fond of this uno reverse
it's just ridiculous
oh so ridiculous
REFRAIN:
it all feels so wrong and holding me back from my true self
i'm trying to move ahead
can you tell? i hope you can
2ND VERSE:
don't you think there's times i'd like to throw my phone across ( olivia rodrigo reference btw )
slam it towards the white wall and shrug
everyone looks so perfect
what the fuck?
sometimes my own skin feels so damn uncomfortable
i just want to scream
not everyone's a prom queen
oh, what sweet sweet misery
CHORUS:
all these social standards
it's just ridiculous
this shit is absurd
everything's all so slanted and backwards
i'm not fond of this uno reverse
it's just ridiculous
all so ridiculous
BRIDGE:
it's all behind me now
that's not who i am
moving on is the new part of my plan
any voices in my head that were once loud and in control
they're muted, never to act my role
i won't break down
no no, i won't break down
i shouldn't care about this, it's all so stupid
i write my own lines
my life, my script
i won't break down
no no, i won't break down
REFRAIN:
it all feels so wrong and holding me back from my true self
i'm trying to move ahead
can you tell? i hope you can
CHORUS:
all these social standards
it's just ridiculous
this shit is absurd
everything's all so slanted and backwards
i'm not fond of this uno reverse
it's just ridiculous
all too ridiculous
OUTRO:
it's just a minor slip in a million
my life, my script
she's not in control
i write my own lines
my life, my script
before it turns ridiculous
oh, all so ridiculous
why so ridiculous?
oh, so ridiculous
i won't break down
oh no, i won't
in case you haven't heard
i'm not thinking ridiculous . . . anymore
