[Verse 1: Brye]

There's a billion people on this planet that you could bother

But for some reason you chose me

I wish I could give you the attention that you ordered

But I just don't have the energy

And maybe I'm the one that's bein' overdramatic

But I don't think so

I do know for a fact, though, that you're a definite coward

And I think it might be time for you to go


[Pre-Chorus: Brye]

You're a sour little boy with a fragile masculinity

You saw me as your toy

Now that I'm not, you abuse me

You're a sour little boy, absolutely no fun

You saw me as your toy

Now that I'm not, you throw a tantrum

[Chorus: Brye, Cavetown]

When life gives me lemons (L-E-M)

I don't make lemonade (O-N-S)

I use them to make you cry (L-E-M-O-N-S)

Can't process my feelings (L-E-M)

Made 'em circle the drain (O-N-S)

So tonight I'm gonna ruin your life (L-E-M-O)

When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade

You use 'em to make girls cry

You take those lemons, no sugar at all

And you squirt it right into our eyes

When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade

You use 'em to make girls cry

You take those lemons, no sugar at all

And you squirt it right into our eyes


[Verse 2: Brye]

I've tried to remain patient with your stupid shenanigans

But you've given me no other choice

You've tried to knock me over by actin' like you're above me

And pretendin' that I don't have a voice

And I don't wanna encourage your abusive behavior

But I just can't let you win

I'm legitimately tired of being walked all over

By these insecure babies who think that they're men


[Verse 3: Cavetown]

Had a breakdown in the evenin', lyin' underneath the ceilin'

So I'm gonna take it out on you

Too proud to show I'm hurtin', push it on you till you're burnin'

That's the only thing that I know how to do

And I don't wanna be a baby 'cause it's shameful

Won't admit that I'm just jealous of the way you move

Through my words like you're bulletproof

[Pre-Chorus: Brye, Cavetown]

I'm a sour little boy with a fragile masculinity

Insecure, destroyed

Anytime that you're above me

You're a sour little boy, absolutely no fun

You saw me as your toy

Now that I'm not, you throw a tantrum

[Chorus: Brye, Cavetown]

When life gives me lemons, I don't make lemonade

I use them to make you cry

Can't process my feelings, made 'em circle the drain

So tonight I'm gonna ruin your life

When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade

You use 'em to make girls cry

You take those lemons, no sugar at all

And you squirt it right into our eyes

[Bridge: Brye, Brye & Cavetown]

You may be the bigger person (When life gives you lemons)

But I'm louder (You don't make lemonade)

I'll do everything to hurt you (When life gives you lemons)

In my power (You don't make lemonade)

Just because you're confident (When life gives you lemons)

I think you're shallow (You don't make lemonade)

Here's a slice of humble pie (When life gives you lemons)

For you to swallow (You don't make lemonade)

[Outro: Brye & Cavetown]

You may be the bigger person (When life gives you lemons)

But I'm louder (You don't make lemonade; I'm louder)

I'll do everything to hurt you (When life gives you lemons)

In my power (You don't make lemonade; My power)

Just because you're confident (When life gives you lemons)

I think you're shallow (You don't make lemonade; You're shallow)

Here's a slice of humble pie (When life gives you lemons)

For you to swallow (You don't make lemonade; To swallow)

Sour little boy
