Molly
Brendon Urie Lil Dicky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's about something pretty important to me
And that's you
And that's true
I really wish I didn't care about you anymore
But I do
What do I do when the rap-life
Make a young couple do something sad like
Being broke up even though we had life
Fuck it, I don't even know what I could of done
Looking back thinking "That's what I should of done"
Wanted you back
But when the fact is I always put you second to rap
I'm not mad that you wouldn't come
And even though I had to move, I ain't move on
Really wish you was a boo I could prove wrong
But she knows what I'mma do with the new songs
And she know them pretty soon when your dude on
Running the rap game, with that lane
Always got to be up on that train, or that plane
Ain't nobody wanna feel that pain, or that strain
Wishing I ain't gotta get that fame
Or I'd claim you, know I'd give you my last name
But that blame on me
Chasing something, feeling dumb 'cause you all I need
Hope you wait until I'm done and I'm all free
But you know I'm never knowing when that's gonna be
And I'm sorry
It's the hardest road to follow (I'm thinking of you)
I really wish that I could call you (What can I do?)
You can find another me tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, babe
If I woke up and I called it quits ('cause I'm thinking of you)
If today I gave up all of this (I don't know what to do)
Maybe I could get you back tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, baby
And that's you
And that's true
I really wish I didn't care about you anymore
But I do
What do I do when the rap-life
Make a motherfucker choose up in that fight?
Make a young couple do something sad like
Being broke up even though we had life
When I'm being dumb and stupid
Who the fuck is gonna hit me with the motherfucking jerk face?
Who's gonna let me know to hit my mother on her birthday?
Who's gonna let me know when I be shopping if a shirt's gay?
And when I'm on the road I be missing that
Always looking at my phone, you would give me crap
Ever since I've been alone I've been thinking back
Listening to you auto-tune in my mic phone making us laugh
You know the past was a blast but it never could last
Pretty sad when your love got a separate path
Used to read when there's nothing to do
But it's funny
Doing nothing's never nothing when it's something with you
You know I wanna still talk, even text and call
Whenever something going on I be pressing "Moll"
Up in the phone til I press the X
Stressed the next one'll best the ex
And you'll forget, but it's best
You the best to me girl, always bake me something
And when they ripped off, you replaced my buttons
But don't be pissed off if I hate your husband
'Cause even when I can't say "Love you"
I love you
It's the hardest road to follow (I'm thinking of you)
I really wish that I could call you (What can I do?)
You can find another me tomorrow,
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, babe
If I woke up and I called it quits ('cause I'm thinking of you)
If today I gave up all of this (I don't know what to do)
Maybe I could get you back tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, baby
And that's you
And that's true
I really wish I didn't care about you anymore
But I do
What do I do when the rap-life
Make a motherfucker choose up in that fight?
Make a young couple do something sad like
Being broke up even though we had life
It's the hardest road to follow (I'm thinking of you)
I really wish that I could call you (What can I do?)
You can find another me tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, babe
If I woke up and I called it quits ('cause I'm thinking of you)
If today I gave up all of this (I don't know what to do)
Maybe I could get you back tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, baby

Line by Line Meaning
Yeah, man, this is the softest thing I ever did
This song I made is more emotional and vulnerable than anything else I've done
But it's about something pretty important to me
It's about someone who holds great significance in my life
And that's you
And that person is you
And that's true
And it's the truth
I really wish I didn't care about you anymore
I wish I could stop caring about you
But I do
But the fact is, I still care
What do I do when the rap-life
What do I do when the demands of my career in rap
Make a motherfucker choose up in that fight?
Force someone like me to make a difficult decision
Make a young couple do something sad like
Make a young couple go through something unfortunate, such as
Being broke up even though we had life
Breaking up despite having a good relationship
Fuck it, I don't even know what I could of done
Forget it, I don't even know what I could have done differently
Looking back thinking 'That's what I should of done'
Reflecting and realizing what I should have done
Wanted you back
I wanted you back in my life
But when the fact is I always put you second to rap
But the truth is I always prioritized my rap career over our relationship
I'm not mad that you wouldn't come
I'm not angry that you didn't want to come back
And even though I had to move, I ain't move on
And even though I had to physically move away, I didn't move on emotionally
Really wish you was a boo I could prove wrong
I really wish you were someone I could prove wrong about my commitment
But she knows what I'mma do with the new songs
But you know what I'm going to do with these new songs
And she know them pretty soon when your dude on
And you'll know them pretty soon when I release them
Running the rap game, with that lane
Dominating the rap industry, following that path
Always got to be up on that train, or that plane
Always have to be on the move, traveling by train or plane
Ain't nobody wanna feel that pain, or that strain
Nobody wants to experience that pain or stress
Wishing I ain't gotta get that fame
Wishing I didn't have to pursue that level of fame
Or I'd claim you, know I'd give you my last name
Otherwise, I'd commit to you fully and marry you
But that blame on me
But it's my fault
Chasing something, feeling dumb 'cause you all I need
Pursuing something else while feeling foolish because all I need is you
Hope you wait until I'm done and I'm all free
I hope you wait for me until I finish and become available
But you know I'm never knowing when that's gonna be
But you know I can't predict when that will happen
And I'm sorry
And I apologize
It's the hardest road to follow (I'm thinking of you)
It's the most challenging path to take, and I'm constantly thinking of you
I really wish that I could call you (What can I do?)
I truly wish I could reach out to you (What options do I have?)
You can find another me tomorrow
You can find someone similar to me in the future
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, babe
And that's the most difficult truth to accept, baby
If I woke up and I called it quits ('cause I'm thinking of you)
If I woke up and decided to give up (because I'm constantly thinking of you)
If today I gave up all of this (I don't know what to do)
If I gave up everything today (I'm unsure of what to do)
Maybe I could get you back tomorrow
Perhaps I could win you back in the future
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, baby
And that's the most difficult truth to accept, baby
When I'm being dumb and stupid
When I'm acting foolishly and making mistakes
Who the fuck is gonna hit me with the motherfucking jerk face?
Who else is going to criticize and call me out for being a jerk?
Who's gonna let me know to hit my mother on her birthday?
Who else will remind me to call my mother on her birthday?
Who's gonna let me know when I be shopping if a shirt's gay?
Who else will inform me if a shirt I'm considering buying looks unappealing or unfashionable?
And when I'm on the road I be missing that
And when I'm traveling, I miss having that person around
Always looking at my phone, you would give me crap
Always checking my phone, you would tease or scold me about it
Ever since I've been alone I've been thinking back
Since I've been alone, I've been reminiscing and reflecting
Listening to you auto-tune in my mic phone making us laugh
Listening to the recordings of you using auto-tune on my microphone, which always made us laugh
You know the past was a blast but it never could last
We had a great time in the past, but it wasn't meant to last
Pretty sad when your love got a separate path
It's quite saddening when love leads to separate journeys
Used to read when there's nothing to do
We used to read together when we had nothing else to do
But it's funny
But it's ironic
Doing nothing's never nothing when it's something with you
Even when we were doing nothing, it felt meaningful because I was with you
You know I wanna still talk, even text and call
You know I still want to communicate with you, through talking, texting, and calling
Whenever something going on I be pressing 'Moll'
Whenever something happens, I instinctively want to reach out to you, Moll
Up in the phone til I press the X
With the phone in my hand until I press the X (end call) button
Stressed the next one'll best the ex
Anxious that the next person I date will surpass my ex
And you'll forget, but it's best
And you'll forget about me, but it's for the best
You the best to me girl, always bake me something
You were the best to me, girl, always baking something for me
And when they ripped off, you replaced my buttons
And when my buttons were torn off, you replaced them for me
But don't be pissed off if I hate your husband
But don't be angry if I dislike your husband
'Cause even when I can't say 'Love you'
Because even when I can't say 'I love you'
I love you
I still love you

@Vincent12
8 years ago, on the first day of college, I met this girl at freshman orientation in Oregon. I was instantly attracted to her from the first moment I laid eyes on her. She was gorgeous. We quickly became good friends and had a really solid friend group. We all would hangout and spend time together every chance we could. We were both busy a lot because she was on the volleyball team and I was on the baseball team. Sports took up a lot of our time but we still spent a lot of time together. I was in the tail end of a relationship from high school but it was clear that it was coming to an end soon. One night, she told me that she had feelings for me and I remember being extremely shocked, happy, and disappointed. Shocked, because I never thought she would be into someone like me. Happy, because it made me realize these feelings that I have been keeping locked away since we first me. And disappointed because I was getting ready to end a relationship and knew I wasn’t in a place to date. I never told her about my feelings, out of respect for my relationship that was coming to an end. We ended up breaking up very shortly after that which was going to happen regardless of if she confessed her feelings for me or not. Not long after my break up, she met another guy at our school and they began talking. I wanted to be supportive and knew she was worth the wait so we just stayed friends. However, talking turned into dating and they became pretty serious. They ended up dating for about 7 years until they split up recently.
A lot has happened since then, I ended up transferring schools and we slowly stopped staying in touch. She ended up moving to Kansas City to be a high school math teacher and I stayed in Oregon and became a pilot.
The whole time they were in a relationship, I never was in one myself. I couldn’t find anybody that gave me the feeling that she did. My heart says finally tell her how you feel, take a chance, and go for her. But my head says don’t, it’s been too long, she lives on the other side of the country and she doesn’t feel that way anymore. I really really hope that there’s a chance for us, but it just doesn’t seem like the universe will give us a chance.
My advice to anyone reading this that has feelings for someone else but is too afraid to tell them how you really feel, is just go for it. Time moves quick, and you don’t want to end up like me, wishing you took a chance and did something differently.
Suffer the pain of putting yourself out there now, or regret later. And trust me, the pain of regret last much, much longer.
With Love,
Jake

@enVyVNCE
I remember listening to this being in so such a comfy relationship, thinking how thats some hard shit. Now I just got home from a night drinking with my buddies, made some ramen noodles, alone in my apartment, finding myself in the same position… but life moves so fast. Its life, people come and go. All you can do is move on and wish them the best. Its gonna be okay.
