lyrics

funny when it rains it pours and you're overcast
always hyperfocused till you're holdin back,
you don't wanna try you don't wanna be perceived
all you see yourself doin is smokin gas
they say self-love is
something you must have
but it's something you must give
and something's got to give
cause you get hyped till you realize
somebody's doing you better
you appropriate your own thoughts
put yourself alone in your own box
self-love yeah you know
but what's there to love
all you're meant to be
is someone else's dog

ooh, ooh,
wishin on a star for you
i'll be wishin on a star for
ooh, ooh,
wishin on a star for you
i'll be wishin on a star for

your theoretical self is so cool
but in practice you're everyone's fool
you ain't lancelot you're lance mountain doubtin
yourself cause in showtime you still lose
study hall, wasn't for you
you'd rather get a c cause you didn't go too hard
on it cause you'd be harder on you
don't make it make sense you ain't logical
stop it, stop it right now
you're just following how you feel
you gotta follow what you know to be real
like growing apart from the folks in your home
or remaining calm when provoked by a troll
and you don't wanna go where most of us go
so stop being them baby go get your own
you wishin on a star but it's living in your heart like

for you
for you
