Molly
Brendon Urie Lil Dicky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, man, this is the softest thing I ever did
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 motherfucker choose up in that fight?
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

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

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

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.
