The Party Lyrics by Shelby Merry

Little Dreams and Pretty Things

2024

You don’t care like I do
Because you don’t
You don’t let love in
Because you won’t
You can’t tell me the truth
Because it’s inside of you
Locked away in some
Packed and dusty room
Yeah, we’re still best friends because I try
Cause I’ve let go of my anger a thousand times
And you can say that it ain’t me
Just to keep me happy
But I’m not
But I’m not
Oh, you can be so mean
Oh, you can be so mean
When you tell me pretty things
Broken crystal in the sink
The party never goes the way you think
Well, I hope you get that job in Miami
I hope you find a girl that doesn’t look like me
And that you forget my name
Act like I never came
In like a storm to cover you
And wash you clean
Oh, I could be so mean
Oh, I could be so mean
But that’s not me
I love you selfishly
The party never goes the way you think
And then you’re dancing in your room
Wishing they were there with you
With pricks of needles in your thumb for vanity
Oh, what a pretty dress they’ll say
Don’t give a damn about the way
They’ll judge from pain if I deserve a smile, too
Well, hope can’t grow where hope has died
But I can plant a thousand times
So stop the voice inside your head
And speak to me
Oh my darling
Turn down the lights on pretty things
You’ll see that they’re not everything
Don’t sell your heart for vanity
So fuck everyone that ever tried to sell you a dream
They’ll take away everything
So, leave the party with me
