The Biggest Lie - Mansions

Tangerine

You’re MVP on a losing team

Acting as if you’ll be seventeen for all your life

And I heard you cry when you were spitting into my eye

Said it’s been eating you up inside, you up inside

And I know it’s hard to be alone

Everyone is scared of showing people who they are

And I know everyone knows if you let them in they’ll break your heart

But you are worthless if you’re waiting

Play it safe, yeah play it cool

But while you run away from everything

I don’t ever envy you

Change your heart

You’re all alone and you know you are

Say «nothing matters» and call it «art»

Say what you mean

And I gave it back

My idealized version of the past

My fear that everything’s meaningless

I gave it back

And I know it’s hard to be alone

But it’s harder still to let those feelings grow

Everyone is scared of showing people who they are

And I know everyone knows if you let them in they’ll break your heart

But you are worthless if you’re waiting

Play it safe, yeah play it cool

But while you run away from everything

I don’t ever envy you

Tangerine, my little tangerine

Tangerine, my little tangerine

Tangerine, my little tangerine

My little tangerine

My little tangerine

Everyone is scared of showing people who they are

And I know everyone knows if you let them in they’ll break your heart

But you are worthless if you’re waiting

Play it safe, yeah play it cool

But while you run away from everything

I don’t ever envy, I don’t ever envy you
