You like drawing new lines
In my sketch book baby
You like to hold the markers 
Changing all the colors
You like to turn my smile 
Around and upside down
And is this how you see me?
Small and full of pity

Did you colour me a sad boy
Did you colour me a sad boy

Mommy used to warn me
About these sharp knives baby
I didn’t take it serious 
At all concerning you
Cause how could ever close friends
Turn into a foe
Sneaking up
Sneaking closer
With a sharp
Knife
Close to the heart

Sad boy
Did you colour me a sad boy
Did you colour me a sad boy
Did you colour me a sad boy

Do you feel so powerful
Do you feel so towering
Above me
I’m sorry
I thought we
Were doing
Something
Real mature
And steady
And friendly
Not charity
Not charity
Not charity
Not charity

Did you color me a sad boy
Did you color me a sad boy
Did you color me a sad boy
Did you color me a sad boy

New Lines

You were never really understood
You were the awkward kid of the neighborhood
Weren’t you?
They said hey weirdo why you walk so strange
They really had you thinking you needed to change

But mommy always said they’re wrong
You’re not weird, you’re a special one
It’s okay babe, it’s okay
You’ll surpass them anyway

Poor millennial crybaby
Heard that you had it all
Poor millennial crybaby
Heard you were ten feet tall

Unlocked your phone to check your likes
To find that no one likes your life,
As much as you do
Your heart is broken but can’t you see? 
You’re looking at your life through a screen
Can’t you see?

As you wipe away the tears
Your make up runs and shows your fears
But that’s okay babe, that’s okay
Just put other filter up

Poor millennial crybaby
Heard that you had it all
Poor millennial crybaby
Heard you were ten feet tall
Poor millennial crybaby
Why do I feel so small?
Poor millennial crybaby
They lied
And we are bound to fall 

Did you cover up that hole
So good that you don’t really know
Anymore what was the problem you had before?
Can’t you talk about your feelings no more?
You’re still hurting deep inside
Can’t build promises on wide
And gaping cavities you hide
Hide behind a smile

Poor millennial crybaby
Heard that you had it all
Poor millennial crybaby
Heard you were ten feet tall
Poor millennial crybaby
Tell me why do I feel so small?
Poor millennial crybaby
They lied
And we are bound to fall
