Lyrics To Songs I Relate To (Cause I Really Wanna Do This-)

Piggyback - Melanie Martinez (PARTIALLY CLEAN)

🎶🎶🎶

I was three years old,
All I wanted was the music
And my parents were doing everything they could,
To move away from our place,
Working overtime always
While I sat up at my grandma's project building, coloring

Ooh,
Moved to a small town
And started to, started to grow
Poetry writing,
I'm singing and dancing

Ooh,
Photographs, painting, cartoons,
That's all I know
That's all I know

---

I have one best friend to this...very day
Since we were five years old, and I...moved away
I never wish I did, cause she's the only one who sees me for who I really am
Instead of how many I reach

Ooh,
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young,
Gave them the benefit of the doubt
I was so wrong
I cut them off, and they came for blood cause they know
They ain't getting more

---

I'm so done with playing piggyback, ooh
Swear to god, I wished y'all all the best, ooh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me
When you could never come close, cause I know my destiny

I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame,
What is this?

Tried to help you do your thing,
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend to you,
And you used that to your advantage

---

Now I'm twenty two, and I've had a crazy year,
Of isolation from all the plastic people here
I cannot wait for the day,
I can finally move away
Back to New York City,
Where the realest people really stayed, oh..

Spent this whole time writing away my heart and soul,
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are the things that we hold so close
Trying to learn and evolve...

---

I'm so done with playing piggyback, ooh
Swear to god, I wished y'all all the best, ooh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me
When you could never come close, cause I know my destiny

I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame,
What is this?

Tried to help you do your thing,
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend to you,
And you used that to your advantage

---

I'm so done with playing piggyback, ooh...
Swear to god, I wished y'all all the best, ooh...
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me...
When you could never come close, cause I know my destiny...
