Hi, Everyone Leave Please – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Oh
Oh-oh
I sold out Radio City, but I'm not on the radio
Kinda bruises my ego watchin' the other pop girls
Skyrocket to the moon, is it cold up there too?
Does bein' a star give you a wider view?
I know it sounds like I'm jaded, but I just think that it's stupid
That we put humans on pedestals and expect them not to lose it
Shoutin' in the abyss, now you think I'm a bitch
Then why you blowin' a kiss? Why do I care about it?
Hi, everyone, leave please
I need a moment to myself
Hi, everyone, leave please
I need a moment to say
I'm not really dramatic, but if you knew me in private
You'd know I branded the chaos, but I prefer being in silence
So I go to the studio, dump it out in the writing
Now I don't know what to say, fuck my life
Now the internet's talkin' and everybody's dissectin'
Tryna invalidate me and all the love I'm expressin'
Now I feel insecure, it's not the same anymore
Fuck, I'm feeling the pressure, can I cry?
Hi, everyone, leave please
I need a moment to myself
Hi, everyone, leave please (leave please)
I need a moment to say
Bye to who I've been
Hi to who I'm next
I just need a moment to myself
I need a moment to myself
(Bye to who I've been), oh-oh
(Hi to who I'm next), I need a moment to myself
Ooh-ooh
I need a moment to say
Bye to who I've been
Hi to who I'm next
I just need a moment to myself, ooh-ooh
Bye to who I've been
Hi to who I'm next
I just need a moment to myself
