Delusional

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I could've been famous, that's right, it's a matter of bad timing I was born too late to blow up on YouTube, but too soon for the FYP Got nothing in common with the kids swiping, only spent a couple years buying CDs If I had a stylist or a street team, maybe if I went to Tisch you would find me on your TV screen I say all that but deep inside I know it's a lie Looking at my piece of shit work ethic with a cynical eye Bestowed with the gift of disappointing fans and critics alike More discipline with the violin and I might've been disillusioned in a different life [Pre Chorus] Oooh, saddled with mental baggage Convinced of my intellectual advantage We can't all be in the ninetieth percentile And that's what it means to be average [Chorus] Guess I'm delusional That I could ever be loved for me Yes I'm delusional And no I ain't talking 'bout family 'Cause the lie I told whoever That I was put together Is why it took forever to see That I'm delusional And that's the problem with me [Verse 2] Been living like I'm broken for so long I really hope that it's true 'Cause if that's a lie, and I'm actually fine Then I think I'd owe you the truth Overly choosy with the things I want Fuck a dude on Hinge with a lame-ass prompt Cause I'm looking for a copy paste of all the awful traits Enabling my fake-ass con [Pre Chorus] Oooh, thought I could stay undamaged Convinced that I had a dating advantage The blackpills give me a five out of ten though And that's what it means to be average [Chorus] Guess I'm delusional That I could ever be loved for me Yes I'm delusional And no I ain't talking 'bout family Cuz the lie I told whoever That I was put together Is why it took forever to see That I'm delusional [Bridge] Check it out I was never much good at the home economics Sewed a costume for myself that wasn't so ergonomic But then I try to take it off and it's stuck to my body So it's now become a part of me, it's not just a hobby If I take it off (if I take it off) If I throw it out (if I throw it out) I'mma wind up naked, looking kinda basic, I got no more clout (I got no more clout) If I take it off (if I take it off) If I throw it out (if I throw it out) Guess I'm half afraid I'll be asked to explain what this song's about [Chorus] Guess I'm delusional That I could ever be loved for me Yes I'm delusional And no I ain't talking 'bout family 'Cause the lie I told whoever That I was put together Is why it took forever to see That I'm delusional And that's the problem with me
