hey tilly, did you ever meet someone who would treat you like you are someone
hey tilly, did you tell your crush that you were over him when he was acting stupid and dumb
did you tell your friends that you feel isolated?
did you tell your parents that you wish you were celebrated?
cause growing up is excruciating

so you shudder and smile
go the extra mile to make someone's day
they appreciate it but oh god you hate pretending that you are ok
it's a chapter in someone else's diary
you want to be the main character in your story
but you just watch from the sidelines and wait your turn
oh tilly, you are such a wonderful person

is it fair to assume that you are not wanted
cause everytime you try to get involved, people keep coming at you and claiming you look haunted
it's not even real, you're just a fool
but despite all that, you try to be you
and you try to blend in but you don't always do

so you shudder and smile
go the extra mile to make someone's day
they appreciate it but oh god you hate pretending that you are ok
it's a chapter in someone else's diary
you want to be the main character in your story
but you just watch from the sidelines and wait your turn
oh tilly, you are such a wonderful person

your dad is proud of you
your mother adores you
but you don't see it because you're bleeding inside
your brother wishes you would like yourself more
instead of trying to point score
with some girl who's jealous because she's not even funny
and kind
and nice
you're so nice

so you shudder and smile
go the extra mile to make someone's day
they appreciate it but oh god you hate pretending that you are ok
it's a chapter in someone else's diary
you want to be the main character in your story
but you just watch from the sidelines and wait your turn
oh tilly, you are such a wonderful person
but you don't see it, but one day you will
and until then, i wish you well
