Do you feel As far away from feeling as she felt? All the grief Deep beneath her anger Annabelle Annabelle It’s easier to hold onto the pain Than to change If you did What would you even say? Nobody Wants a happy song now Anyway Yeah it’s true Bad white girls are still such a taboo Misery Is edgy when you wear it on your sleeve I guess there’ll be Another fool like me hey Annabelle Knives out They don’t wanna know Don’t need Anyone anymore The terror of being known The terror of being shown Who you are
