Don't
Good Luck Finding Iris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't need any of your praise
I do just fine most days
I'd like to pass along a smile
It's not my fault if you don't try

High horse get off your high horse
Now you're a-tumbling down
High horse get off your high horse
It's your decision now

Take your time
Cuz I dont need you wasting mine
Why go about it like that
Some people just wanna talk smack

High horse get off your high horse
Now you're a-tumbling down
High horse get off your high horse
It's your decision now

I'm just saying we could be friends
Don't make me a means to an end

Don't act so tough
I'll call out your bluff





No I don't need your praise
Cuz I don't give a shit anyways
