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
