I Get It
Beauty Queen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't have the time to think twice but I understand
I get it, I'm just a little bit tired of facing it
Keep wanting to change my name
Can't make me stay

I gotta get out
Baby when the roof starts caving in
I gotta get out

Pray another meteor might hit
I just wanna get out
Never wanna feel like this again
Nobody's begging me to stay anyways

Takes me by surprise how things change so endlessly
I said it, can't find the sentiment, can't even think of it
Wish I could live a while undercover
Till the seasons change

I gotta get out
Baby when the roof starts caving in
I gotta get out
Pray another meteor might hit
I just wanna get out
Never wanna feel like this again
Nobody's begging me to stay anyways

I gotta get out
Even if it started making sense
I just wanna get out
'Cause I'm hardly convinced
I just wanna get out
Never wanna feel like this again

Nobody's begging me to stay
Begging me to stay
