The pressure to make the world run
The pressure to please most everyone
The pressure to be first done
The pressure to be Miss Perfect, number oneThe pressure to make straight A's
The lines that I walk, always straight
My boundaries have always been grayed
The things that I do, make it okayThe pressure to make the world run
The pressure to please most everyone
The pressure to walk this world alone
No heart, no head, no, go it aloneHeart the size of Jupiter
Rings to rival Saturn
I'm just getting stupider
Tired of this patternWhen every mistake ruins your life
My small failures end me in strife
Big words, big minds, but nothing is mine
Calling for help for all this timeThe pressure to say stop and then go
The pressure to always quickly know
The pressure to go with their flow
The pressure to know things I don't knowThe pressure to make the world run
When I'm sick and tired, done more than they've done
The pressure to hide my planet-sized heart
The pressure to make my dead heart startHeart the size of Jupiter
Rings to rival Saturn
I'm just getting stupider
Nothing even matteredCaught up in strife, tired of this life
Hung by a string, stopped by nothing
Hide me inside, I'll be just fine
I'll stay hiding most of the time.The pressure to make the world run
The pressure to have a rich husband
When I don't even like men
I much prefer womenBut they don't care, it's not their fault
Their daughter grew up hating it all
Cut off my hair, tie-dyed a shirt
It's all still thereNo one can save me,
No one can blame me
For what's their faultHeart the size of Jupiter
Rings to rival Saturn
I'm just getting stupider
Tired of this pattern.Don't know where I'd even go
Just that I want to leave
Nobody cares, even so,
I want to believe.
