lyrics

Dear Davina,
Why are you so nice to me?
You know I would’ve understood
if you just hung out
with your friends
and you never said Hi to me.
I really would've been fine.

Dear Davina,
you know you're taller than I am
but you still took me in a circle by the hand
for the girls ask the boys skate
and we talked about snakes
and said you thought I was cool.

Hey Davina, I'm having a pretty rough seventh grade.
Everyone’s so much meaner
than when we all used to play
on the Green Machine.
Someone called me a loser
but I didn't even know that
we were playing a game
and almost everyone in class
forgot my birthday
except for you Davina. Thanks.

Dear davina, you make my heart go
Ba-da-ba-ba-bada-ba
Because you talk to me
like my best friends
Ryan and Sam do.
You're taller than I am
and you think that's funny
and so do I.
I'm glad I met a friend like you
when I did.
It means a lot Davina.

Dear Davina,
Have a really great summer....
Wait, scratch that out...
I really hope you meet someone
who's as nice as you.
I hope they make you smile
when you don't even wanna.

I'm a little bit shy
and a little bit scared
that I'm already broken.
Davina, you reminded me I'm okay.
So thanks.
Sincerely.

Not Like This
by Iron Chic

supported by 20 fans who also own “Why You So Short?”

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
