Skye Matteson - Bandaid Lyrics

You could say that I stay private
Call it what you want
Girls are brutal, guys are cruel
But I stay nonchalant
But I never really liked the parties
I'd prefer to do my laundry
Say I apologize too much so for that I'm sorry
Begging for inclusion then
I call, say I'm unwell
Take every opportunity to go back in my shell
But I'll pack it up this once
Try to feel welcome
From 8 to 12 I'm gonna be a different person
But the bandaids gonna come off
Try my best to keep it clean
But once the lights go off and
All the conversation stops
No medicine that I'll refuse
No amount of kisses on the bruise
Can take the salt out of my wounds
The self-destructive midtown blues
Every time it hits the ceiling
Deep scars become revealing
Better hold your hand through it all
'cause the bandaids gonna come off
So I'll shake and chalk it up to all that glitters ain't gold
Greif of my identity has put my life on hold
And I'll never admit it
But I fear there's so much I'm missing
I just wish I was noticed when that part of me was missing

Don't expose what you're not proudest of
That's enough
I've fallen out of love with the person I've become
The bandaids coming off
(Bandaids coming off)
It's so hard to keep it in me
(It's so hard to keep it in me)
What if no one likes me
Finds out that I'm pretending
And I'm sorry for my venting
Hope it has a happy ending
The bandaids coming off
And I'll try my best to keep it clean
But once the lights go off and
All the conversation stops
No medicine that I'll refuse
No amount of kisses on the bruise
Can take the salt out of my wounds
The self-destructive midtown blues
Every time it hits the ceiling
Deep scars become revealing
Better hold your hand through it all
'cause the bandaids gonna come off
I've fallen out of love with the person I've become
No one's gonna like me
