She was dancing, she was smiling Roses blooming in her cheeks In a quiet kind of litany She accepted some defeat And then she twirled into the arms Of disgrace, and then repelled Now, she's fallen to her knees But you couldn't ever tell And then, she asked me how we got here I told her, "I don't know!" And if you keep on asking I'll just keep saying so This isn't what I wanted It isn't what you need But let them keep on talking Just calm yourself and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Now, don't you pay them any mind Where the burdens of her mother Weigh like sandbags on the eyes As she closes, just to open As the sirens whirling by And now she's off to tell her secret To a friend somewhere in town And her friend just takes a moment And asks why I'm not around Darling, this is something I should have told you long ago I just want you to feel safe I just want to make you glow Oh, how you glowed when we were young And with nothing on our minds But each other, one another And we had nothing then but time And then, she asked me how we got here I told her, "I don't know!" And if you keep on asking I'll just keep saying so This isn't what I wanted It isn't what you need But let them keep on talking Just calm yourself and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Now, don't you pay them any mind Some days you hear it (don't listen, honey) Some days you don't (don't listen, oh no) Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, honey) Sometimes you won't Just calm yourself, and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Now, don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Now, don't you pay them any mind
