Here
Alessia Cara Lyrics

I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
I apologize if I come across as disengaged

Or I'm not listenin' or I'm indifferent
Or if I'm not paying attention, or seem uninvested

Truly, I ain't got no business here
Honestly, there's no purpose for my presence

But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
However, my friends are around and I wanted to hang out with them

But really I would rather be at home all by myself not in this room
But honestly, I'd prefer to be alone at home rather than being in this space

With people who don't even care about my well being
With individuals who don't have any concern for my state of mind

I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend
I don't dance, don't ask me, and I don't require a boyfriend

So you can go back, please enjoy your party
So, you can leave and continue having fun at your party

I'll be here
I'll be here by myself

Somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana
Hiding in a corner, surrounded by smoke from marijuana

With this boy who's hollering, I can hardly hear
With a guy who's yelling so loudly, it's difficult to hear anything else

Over this music I don't listen to and I don't wanna get with you
Over the music that I have no interest in and I don't want to be with you

So tell my friends that I'll be over here
Please inform my friends that I'll be staying over here

Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Here, here

Oh, I ask myself what am I doing here?
I question the purpose of my presence here

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
I'm looking forward to leaving this place

Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this
Please forgive me if I don't appear impressed with this situation

An anti-social pessimist, but usually I don't mess with this
I'm introverted and pessimistic, and this isn't usually my thing

And I know you mean only the best
I realize your intentions are good

And your intentions aren't to bother me
And you don't mean to disturb me

But honestly I'd rather be
But honestly, I'd prefer to be

Somewhere with my people we can kick it and just listen
With my friends, relaxed enough to listen to some music

To some music with the message (like we usually do)
Music with something meaningful to say (as we usually listen to)

And we'll discuss our big dreams
And we'll talk about our ambitious aspirations

How we plan to take over the planet
Our strategy to rule the world

So pardon my manners, I hope you'll understand
Excuse my behavior, I hope you can comprehend

That I'll be here
That I'll be hanging out here

Not there in the kitchen with the girl
Not over there in the kitchen with the girl

Who's always gossiping about her friends
Who gossips about her friends all the time

So tell them I'll be here
Let them know I'm staying here

Right next to the boy who's throwing up
Right beside the guy who's nauseous

'Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more
Because he has had too much to drink

Oh God, why am I here?
Oh God, what am I doing here?

Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator
After some time has passed, hanging out by the fridge

Some girl's talking 'bout her haters
A girl is discussing people who dislike her

She ain't got none
She doesn't actually have any haters

How did it ever come to this
How did we end up here in this situation

I shoulda never come to this
I should not have come here to begin with

So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done
Just call my cell phone; I'll wait in the car until you're ready

I'm standoffish, don't want what you're offering
I'm distant and unapproachable, and I'm not interested in what you're offering

And I'm done talking
And I'm finished with this conversation

Awfully sad it had to be that way
It's a shame that things had to turn out like this

So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready
Inform my friends that I'm ready whenever they are

And I'm standing by the TV with my beanie low
I'm standing next to the TV with my beanie pulled low

Yo, I'll be over here
Yo, I'll be at this spot

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
I'm excited for the moment when we can finally leave this place
