[Intro]

Low-key, no pressure

Just hang with me and my weather

Low-key, no pressure

Just hang with me and my weather


[Verse 1]

Rose-colored boy

I hear you makin' all that noise about the world you want to see

And, oh, I'm so annoyed

'Cause I just killed off what was left of the optimist in me


[Pre-Chorus]

And, ooh, hearts are breakin' and wars are ragin' on

And I have taken, uh, my glasses off

You got me nervous, I'm right at the end of my rope

A half-empty girl, don't make me laugh, I'll choke


[Chorus]

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey, man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy


[Post-Chorus]

Low-key, no pressure

Just hang with me and my weather


[Verse 2]

And I want you to stop insisting that I'm not

A lost cause 'cause I been through a lot

And, really, all I've got is just to stay pissed off

If it's alright by you


[Pre-Chorus]

But hearts are breakin' and wars are ragin' on

And I have taken, uh, my glasses off

You got me nervous when you're turnin' it into a joke

A half-empty girl, don't make me laugh, I'll


[Chorus]

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey, man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy


[Bridge]

Hmm, ooh

Leave me here a little bit longer

I think I wanna stay in the car

I don't want anybody seein' me cry now

You say we gotta look on the bright side

I say, "Well, maybe if you wanna go blind"

You say my eyes are gettin' too dark now

But, boy, you ain't ever seen my mind


[Chorus]

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey, man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Oh, no, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy


[Outro]

Low-key, no pressure

Just hang with me and my weather

Low-key, no pressure

Just hang with me and my weather
