Lemons

Cavetown


There's a billion people on this planet that you could bother
But for some reason you chose me
I wish I could give you the attention that you ordered
But I just don't have the energy

And maybe I'm the one that's being overdramatic
But I don't think so
I do know for a fact, though, that you're a definite coward
And I think it might be time for you to go

You're a sour little boy
With a fragile masculinity
You saw me as your toy
Now that I'm not, you abuse me

You're a sour little boy
Absolutely no fun
You saw me as your toy
Now that I am not, you throw a tantrum

When life gives me lemons (l-e-m)
I don't make lemonade (o-n-s)
I use them to make you cry (l-e-m-o-n-s)
Can't process my feelings (l-e-m)
Made 'em circle the drain (o-n-s)
So tonight I'm gonna ruin your life (l-e-m-o-n-s)

When life gives you lemons
You don't make lemonade
You use them to make girls cry
You take those lemons

No sugar at all
And you squirt it right into our eyes
When life gives you lemons
You don't make lemonade

You use them to make girls cry
You take those lemons
No sugar at all
And you squirt it right into our eyes

I've tried to remain patient with your stupid shenanigans
But you've given me no other choice
You've tried to knock me over by acting like you're above me
And pretending that I don't have a voice

And I don't wanna encourage your abusive behaviour
But I just can't let you win
I'm legitimately tired of being walked all over
By these insecure babies who think that they're men

Had a breakdown in the evening
Lying underneath the ceiling
So I'm gonna take it out on you
Too proud to show I'm hurting
Push it on you till you're burning

That's the only thing that I know how to do
And I don't wanna be a baby 'cause it's shameful
Won't admit that I'm just jealous of the way you move
Through my words like you're bulletproof

I'm a sour little boy
With a fragile masculinity
Insecure, destroyed
Anytime that you're above me

You're a sour little boy
Absolutely no fun
You saw me as your toy
Now that I'm not, you throw a tantrum

When life gives me lemons
I don't make lemonade
I use them to make you cry
Can't process my feelings
Made 'em circle the drain
So tonight, I'm gonna ruin your life

When life gives you lemons
You don't make lemonade
You use them to make girls cry
You take those lemons
No sugar at all
And you squirt it right into our eyes

You may be the bigger person but I'm louder
(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)
I'll do everything to hurt you in my power
(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

Just because you're confident I think you're shallow
(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)
Here's a slice of humble pie for you to swallow
(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

You may be the bigger person, but I'm louder
(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)
I'll do everything to hurt you in my power
(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)

Just because you're confident I think you're shallow
(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)
Here's a slice of humble pie for you to swallow
(When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade)
Sour little boy
