once there was this girl i knew,
she had all she could want
but her unhappiness exceeded what she'd flaunt
she says 'everyone around here's wasting my time'
all of her possessions gonna make her feel fine
she wants everyone to sit around, talk about her life
don't ask her how she feels, 'cause that'd be a lie.

don't tell me 'cause you know i know it hurts
don't tell me 'cause you know it's gotten worse
don't tell me 'cause you think i don't know shit about the way you feel
tell me 'cause i don't want you to hurt.

she sits around like a vintage queen,
complains about the world
she says how she's so much better than you,
how she's a "special" girl.
she says 'everyone around here's wasting my time'
all of her boyfriends gonna make her feel fine

don't tell me 'cause you know i know it hurts
don't tell me 'cause you know it's gotten worse
don't tell me 'cause you think i don't know shit about the way you feel
tell me 'cause i don't want you to hurt.

she says 'everyone around me is wasting all my time'
all of her boyfriends gonna make her feel fine.

don't tell me 'cause you know i know it hurts
don't tell me 'cause you know it's gotten worse
don't tell me 'cause you think i don't know shit about the way you feel
tell me 'cause i don't want you to-
don't tell me 'cause you know i know it hurts
don't tell me 'cause you know it's gotten worse
don't tell me 'cause you think i don't know shit about the way you feel
tell me 'cause i don't want you to hurt.
