Let Me Daydream Lyrics

It started in the 5th grade

They told me I was insane

Dealt with every heartbreak my mother felt

I'll let it go to think straight

And make it to the 6th grade

Maybe then I'll see change within myself

You wonder why I speak low when everyone is social

But make a joke when you're close to letting go

We laugh at every punchline from every joke in my mind

The problem is I'm not fine when I get home

Please

Don't let me go

You see

Drunk people make me nervous

I've been rehearsing

To tell you that I'm hurting

But never speak

You wanna get to know me

I want that badly

Cause I don't even know me

Come to think

I often get distracted

I never really salvaged

The pieces and the fragments that make up me

I'm friends with heartbreak

Ever since the 5th grade

What was it that you asked me?

Am I okay?

Every little thing that I fight for fights me

And every little voice that I locked up broke free

I found a way to cope with the symptoms I can't treat

I pretend that you want me

So for now let me daydream

I was just a freshman

Ready for the next step

Then we get evicted okay that's new

We'll find a way to make it

I'll pack up all the blankets

Find a job to pay rent and buy some food

Don't think I like her boyfriend

Think that he's abusive

Heard my mother screaming back in his room

She ran to get me up late

Hurt me in the same way

Said the very next day I'll walk to school

Every little thing that I fight for fights me

And every little voice that I locked up broke free

I found a way to cope with the symptoms I can't treat

I pretend that you want me

So for now let me daydream

Every little thing that I fight for fights me

And every little voice that I locked up broke free

I found a way to cope with the symptoms I can't treat

I pretend that you want me

So for now let me daydream

I wanted to believe that my past couldn't hurt me

So every now and then I pretend that I'm happy

I wanna let it go 'cause I'll choke if you ask me

If I found what I'm missing

Then I'll laugh like it's nothing

Holding back every tear stream

So for now let me daydream
