Don't Go Home

This song ended up on the cutting room floor.
I think it should have been in the movie.

(Verse 1)
You are so beautiful, you are so smart
It kills me that you can't see the work of art
They tell us "be extraordinary," a mountain we must climb
But somehow we're always doing it wrong, every single time.
You have to be thin, but please don't you dare say
That you want to be thin, just be "healthy" on the way
But you have to be thin... you have to have the cash
But don't you ask for money, 'cause they'll only call it crass.

(Chorus)
And oh...
I'm so tired of watching us try to be what people like
I'm just so tired of tying myself in knots under the light
It's too hard, it's too much, and no one says "thank you" for the cost
And it turns out that not only are you wrong, but everything we lost...
Is all our fault.

(Verse 2)
You have to be the boss, but don't you be too mean
You have to lead the way, but keep their fragile egos clean
You're supposed to love being a mother, a pure and holy right
But don't you talk about your kids all damn day and all damn night.
Be a career woman, but always look around
And pick up all the pieces that the others drop on the ground
You have to answer for the things that all the bad men do
And if you dare to point that out, you're just complaining, it's on you.

(Chorus)
And oh!
I'm so tired of watching us try to be what people like!
I'm just so tired of tying myself in knots under the light!
It's too hard, it's too much, and no one says "thank you" for the cost!
And it turns out that not only are you wrong, but everything we lost...
Is all our fault!

(Bridge)
Stay pretty for them, but not so pretty that you tempt
Not so pretty you're a threat to the sisterhood you've kept
Always stand out, but always be so grateful for your spot
Never forget the system's rigged, but thank them for what you've got...
Yeah, thank them for what you've got.

(Build-up/Chant)
Never get old
Never be rude
Never show off
Never be selfish
Never fall down
Never fail
Never show fear
NEVER GET OUT OF LINE!

(Final Chorus)
And OH!
I'M SO TIRED OF WATCHING US TRY TO BE WHAT PEOPLE LIKE!
I'M SO TIRED OF TYING MYSELF IN KNOTS UNDER THE LIGHT!
IT'S TOO HARD, IT'S TOO MUCH, AND NO ONE GIVES YOU A MEDAL FOR THE COST!
AND IT TURNS OUT THAT NOT ONLY ARE YOU WRONG, BUT EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT!

(Outro)
I'm just so tired... of tying myself in knots so people will like us...
And if all of that is also true...
...for a doll...
Then I don't even know...
I don't even know.

Tying Myself in Knots (from Barbie Movie)

“Two Worlds” is a soul-baring collection of nine intimate songs that trace the arc of a man’s emotional odyssey through love, loss, and healing. Told in rich acoustic textures and poetic storytelling, the album begins with the bright bloom of love and follows its tragic unraveling, descending into solitude, self-doubt, and inner collapse. Yet within the darkness, glimmers of light persist.
