about

This song was written about feeling hella extra all the time after the break up that "It Made Sense" is about. Like I was doomed to be unlovable having been dumped, outed for being queer (this was a time where we weren't as embraced as we are now), and I missed my ex. I wrote it during a time where I was learning to mess with harmonies and listening to a lot of Ronettes. I believe i felt gross about myself to date anyone. I wound up not dating for like 2+ years. Kinda silly to look back on, but playing and singing this song again was really fun.

lyrics

you wanted funny so i made you laugh to tears
you wanted real so i showed you all my fears
and you looked away
said "babe it's too much for me"
i hope your happy and i mean that honestly
there's nothing better
than when you're standing next to me
and you hold my hand
well baby i understand
cause I
baby i'm a mess
and it's not up to you
to make sure that i'm fixed
