Melanie Martinez – Recess lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was too young to see the truth
In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume
Too naive to even care
'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair

[Pre-Chorus]
People gonna say
"If you need a break, someone will take your place"
People gonna try
To tell you that "you're fine" with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)


[Chorus]
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try
Ooh, don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

[Verse 2]
Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done
Everything I wanted has come to fruition
I should be happy but I can't get out my bed
Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head

[Pre-Chorus]
People gonna say
"If you need a break, someone will take your place"
People gonna try
To tell you that "you're fine" with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)

[Chorus]
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try
Ooh, don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

[Bridge]
Where is my time?
Gone in my mind
Gone, I can't find
Euphoria
When I get upset
I think in my head
"I do as she says"

[Pre-Chorus]
People gonna say
"If you need a break, someone will take your place"
People gonna try
To tell you that "you're fine" with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)

[Chorus]
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try
Ooh, don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
