[Verse 1]
Used to bite my tongue
Chewed it down to the bone
Smiled through every favor
Walked everyone home
Said “sure
I don’t mind”
While I boiled inside
Carried all your comfort
Let my own slide
[Chorus]
As I’ve grown older
I’ve learned this truth
It’s strange
Pleasing everybody
That’s a losing game
But pissing everybody off
Man
That’s a piece of cake
So I’ll light my little match
And watch the fake parts flake
[Verse 2]
You want me soft and small
Easy to rearrange
Nod along politely
Never ever change
Now I leave your texts
Hanging in blue
If it costs my peace
It’s too high a due
[Chorus]
As I’ve grown older
I’ve learned this truth
It’s strange
Pleasing everybody
That’s a losing game
But pissing everybody off
Man
That’s a piece of cake
So I’ll light my little match
And watch the fake parts flake
[Bridge]
Here’s to every “no”
I was scared to say (say it)
Here’s to every line
I redraw my way (my way)
If it makes you mad
Guess that’s my mistake
I’ll be over here
Eating my cake (hey!)
[Chorus]
As I’ve grown older
I’ve learned this truth
It’s strange
Pleasing everybody
That’s a losing game
But pissing everybody off
Man
That’s a piece of cake
I won’t trade my spine again
For your sweet
Sweet fake
