Melanie Martinez - Piggyback Lyrics

I was three years old
All I wanted was the music and
My parents were doing everything they could
To move away from our place
Working over time always
While I sat up in my grandma's project
Building coloring

Ooh
Moved to a small town and
Started to started to grow
Poetry written I'm singing and dancing
Ooh
Photographs painting cartoons
That's all I know
That's all I know

I have one best friend
To this very fucking day
Since we were five years old
And I fucking moved away
I wish I never did cause she's the only one
Who sees me for who I really am
Instead of how many I reach

Ooh
Trusted too many fake people
While I was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt
I was so wrong
I cut them off and they came for blood
Cause they know
They ain't getting no more

I'm so done with playing piggy back ooh
Swear to God I wished y'all all the best ooh
You're lying your way to try
And gain a piece of me
When you could never come close
Cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you're trying to kill my name
For some fame
What is this?
Tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used
That to your advantage

Now I'm 22
And I've had a crazy year of
Isolation from all the plastic people here
I can not wait for the day
I can finally move away back to New York city
Where the realest people really stay

Ooh
Spent this whole time writing away my heart
And my soul
The people I surround myself
With have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things
That we hold so close
Trying to learn and evolve

I'm so done with playing piggy back ooh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best ooh
You're lying your way to try
And gain a piece of me
When you could never come close
Cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you're trying to kill my name
For some fame
What is this?
Tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used
That to your advantage

I'm so done with playing piggy back
Ooh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best
Ooh
You're lying your way to try
And gain a piece of me
When you could never come close
Cause I know my destiny
