lyrics

when I try to elaborate
I tend to fall on my face cause
words were never meant to express
the way I'm in distress

when I leave the apartment
I never know if I'm gonna get
named the same when I sound the same
but doncha know I've changed

you know who you listen to
you don’t want to know why
songs unplayed, you played it safe
tonight

anything that’s good you say
it must be real nice
until your name unsaid, until your death tonight

so do better than the bare minimum
do better than the bare minimum
do better than the bare minimum for me
do better than the bare minimum
do better than the bare minimum
do better than the bare minimum for me

put a pin in the memory
redirect to a melody
hey VARIA! how are ya!
yeah I'm doin fine

but you gotta change how you see me
not just how you perceive me
I don’t want your love out of pity
if you don’t love me now

you know who you listen to
you don’t want to know why
the name is dead, still inside your head

there’s a place to learn all this
but this is not the place
so spend your time with someone else today
yeah step outside and hear what the people say!

so do better than the bare, better than the bare,
better than the bare minimum for me
do better than the bare minimum
do better than the bare minimum
do better than the bare minimum for me

don’t say, you’re sorry
I know, you’re trying
when you’re free of guilt
nothing gets changed

it’s so frustrating
5 years of waiting
9 times out of 10, I’m outa here

I've got no other options
it’s this or I’m done friend
most folks that I've met
pretend I haven’t changed enough just yet

my doctor doesn’t believe me
that I want to change my chemistry
not whatever’s dear to me
just whatever’s hurting me

so I'll just keep quiet
cry lots, nod my head
nobody knows it better than me
why did I wait to make my own meaning?

you know who you listen to
you don’t want to know why
songs unplayed, you played it safe
tonight

yeah I don’t need to help you now
cause it must be real nice
it’s never on you to try to be so kind!

never on you to try to be so
never on you to try to be so
never on you to try to be so kind
never on you to try to be so
never on you to try to be so
never on you to try to be so kind
