This week’s pick uploaded to YouTube just a few days ago (July 5, 2019) and Spotify served it up to me on Sunday. I immediately fell in love with it! However, the lyrics do contain a swear word, which isn’t a big deal to me.
Since it’s pretty much new, I couldn’t locate official lyrics. I’ll post what they sound like to my daughter and I below and if I see official ones come up at some point, I’ll come update the post! Yup, I followed.
Without further ado, please enjoy “sicker” by laye.
Best to all,
I don’t wanna get drunk
I don’t wanna sleep
I just wanna lie down in bed
right next to me
and tell myself it’s okay
not to always run away
tell myself it’s okay
I don’t gotta be numb
when I wanna speak
I can let my feelings
out without the need
to always wanna hide away
let me know that there’s no [shade/shame?]
that there’s no [shade/shame?]
magazines, social media, liquor
all the drugs and the games
make us sicker
too much time
spent staring in the mirror
I wanna be what you want
I wanna not give a f*ck
I wish I could show me love
I’m gonna pull me closer
I wanna win me over
I don’t wanna need someone
to validate what I’ve done
I wish I could love me like them
I’m gonna pull me closer
I wanna win me over
[there’s a line here neither of us was sure about]
when it gets hard
when I fall down
when I fall into my arms
catch myself before I break
and wrap me in a warm embrace
wrap me in a warm embrace
getting all dressed up
to tear myself down
biting my tongue
so the words don’t come out
wish I could be nicer
cause I don’t wanna fight her
I don’t wanna fight her
magazines, social media, liquor
all the drugs and the games
make us sicker
too much time
spent staring in the mirror
I wanna be what you want
I wanna not give a f*ck
I wish I could show me love
I’m gonna pull me closer
I wanna win me over
I don’t wanna need someone
to validate what I’ve done
I wish I could love me like them
I’m gonna pull me closer
I wanna win me over
I wanna be what you want
I wanna not give a f*ck
I wish I could show me love
I’m gonna pull me closer
I wanna win me over
I don’t wanna need someone
to validate what I’ve done
I wish I could love me like them
I’m gonna pull me closer
I wanna win me over
laye
