"Rose-Colored Boy"

Low-key, no pressure

Just hang with me and my weather

Low-key, no pressure

Just hang with me and my weather

Rose-colored boy

I hear you making all that noise

About the world you want to see

And oh, I'm so annoyed

'Cause I just killed off what was left of

The optimist in me

But hearts are breaking, and 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

I want you to stop insisting that I'm not

A lost cause, 'cause I've been through a lot

Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off

If it's all right by you

But hearts are breaking, and wars are raging on

And I have taken my glasses off

You got me nervous

And 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

I know 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

Low-key, no pressure

Just hang with me and my weather
