Sweet Nothings
You are nothing
I am less
Let's admit it
We're a mess
Why one is childish rather than pretentious
Because quite enough other people
Already do
Pretentious
So well
And so regularly
Weirdo
Oh, all of us are weirdos
It’s odd that, but it’s true
And the more you call me ‘weirdo’
The less hope there is for you
