Emily Reo - Strawberry Lyrics

Sometimes it feels like I'm swimming with sharks
Just reading books by myself in the park
And when I'm walking alone after dark
Why do I owe you, oh-oh

Don't shut me up!

I wear my headphones, I hear you telling me to smile
And then you reach for me, dead in the ocean bleeding
Where is your self control?
Now you've been talking for a while
Don't even let me speak, you think you know everything

And the days I've patiently waited
While things I know are clearing are debated

Your eyes close when you talk about shit, hey
My eyes roll back so far I see my grave
And there is so much you try to explain
But I don't wanna know it, oh-oh

Talk to yourself!

I rode into the shore
You ask if I'm somebody's girlfriend
Not seen as capable
Just someone's property

And the days I've patiently waited
While you miscalculate it

I don't owe you anything

You stand in front of me, blocking the view
But I'll climb ladders to see over you
And if there's something your finger can't do
Don't need your company, oh-oh

Don't knock me down!

What do you deserve from me? N-O-T-H-I-N-G
Why do you always have to be so C-R-Y-P-T-I-C
Save the calls for my kitty, C-H-A-R-L-I-E
Wish you would earn that PhD in R-E-S-P-E-C-T

How many girls in this city are getting T-I-R-E-D
Finding a sense of security through H-I-D-I-N-G
Wish they could swim but in your teeth, B-L-E-E-D-I-N-G
Wish you would earn that PhD in R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Don't owe you anything

Na na na na-na-na na (N-O-T-H-I-N-G)
Na na na na-na-na (C-R-Y-P-T-I-C)
Na na na na-na-na (C-H-A-R-L-I-E)
Na na na na-na-na

Don't owe you anything (don't shut me up)
