Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hi, says the girl with the right eyes
That pairs pretty well when she hits you with the soft smile
You can kinda tell that somethin's going on, but
She's like a Skrillex song that never drops
She'll never talk
[Verse 2]
She'll never talk about the feelings that she felt today
Better kept inside of a fence, inside of a cage
Inside of a safe that's safe for her
'Cause they, they just hurt
And she don't know why that God sauntered
I hope he's trying
[Verse 3]
She said, she said, she said, she said
She said, I hope he's trying
Frank, do you think he's trying?
Then I said, I don't know
But I asked her, what's wrong?
She just nods her head
And then I asked her, what's wrong?
And she said
[Verse 4]
He was the picture perfect person, loved my mother, oh, so dearly
You could feel the love reverberate wherever in our building
If it feel the same today, I wish I'd know
But sometimes you drive a car and lose control into poles
[Verse 5]
Hold me closely, I don't think you should love me
Always feel so lonely knowing that nothing forever lasts forever
Sorry, Frank, you're much too late, much too late
I'm sorry, Frank, you're, you're much too late, much too late
(You are so late)
[Verse 6]
Hi, says the girl who doesn't have time for relationship advice
Rather relationships at all
She holds her breath all day and fucking gasps for air at night
She promised she would love me for only till the morning time
The more that I engage in it, the more that I am mortified
That I'm like every other shitty guy
[Verse 7]
And then, bye, says the girl who doesn't have time
For relationship advice, rather relationships at all
I asked her, what's wrong?
I asked her, what's wrong?
And she said, and she said, she said
He's such a bummy, crusty, cruddy father
Fucking every girl he takes to coffee
He lied to Mom in holy matrimony
[Verse 8]
Hold me closely, I don't think you should love me
Always feel so lonely knowing that nothing forever lasts forever
Sorry, Frank, you're, you're much too late, much too late
Sorry, Frank, you're, you're much too late, you're much too late
You're much too
Sorry, Frank, you're much too late, much too late
