Lyrics for Rose-Colored Boy

Low-key, no pressure Just hang with me and my weather Low-key, no pressure Just hang with me and my weather Rose-colored boy I hear you making all that noise About the world you want to see And oh, I'm so annoyed 'Cause I just killed off what was left of The optimist in me But hearts are breaking, and wars are raging on And I have taken my glasses off You got me nervous I'm right at the end of my rope A half empty girl Don't make me laugh, I'll choke Just let me cry a little bit longer I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to Hey, man, we all can't be like you I wish we were all rose-colored too My rose-colored boy Low-key, no pressure Just hang with me and my weather I want you to stop insisting that I'm not A lost cause, 'cause I've been through a lot Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off If it's all right by you But hearts are breaking, and wars are raging on And I have taken my glasses off You got me nervous And you're turning it into a joke A half empty girl Don't make me laugh, I'll... Just let me cry a little bit longer I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to Hey, man, we all can't be like you I wish we were all rose-colored too My rose-colored boy Leave me here a little bit longer I think I wanna stay in the car I don't want anybody seeing me cry now You say, "We gotta look on the bright side" I say, "Well, maybe if you wanna go blind" You say my eyes are getting too dark now But boy, you ain't ever seen my mind Just let me cry a little bit longer I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to Hey, man, we all can't be like you I wish we were all rose-colored too My rose-colored boy Just let me cry a little bit longer I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to I know we all can't be like you I wish we were all rose-colored too My rose-colored boy Low-key, no pressure Just hang with me and my weather Low-key, no pressure Just hang with me and my weather
