Sponsor Me Tape
Mom Jeans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I hate your fucking face
And the way you always made fun of me for biting my nails
You think I'm not as smart as you
Think I'm not cool enough to keep up with the crowd you associate with
Tried reading a new book
It's hard not to look
But I can't help from wondering what you're up to now
But it's not my place so I'll give you your space
Fuck me up 'cause I can't remember just who I was before I met you
A better person, a prop to use then throw away
I need a break, 'cause for some reason I only get tired in the morning
And I feel so boring
I don't think these wounds will heal themselves
And if they do it won't be 'cause you helped
You never fucking helped
You never fucking cared
You only ever cared about yourself
I never thought it'd be so hard
We haven't spoken since last march




I try to cut you out but I still care about you
I'll always fucking care about you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mom Jeans's song "Sponsor Me Tape" express a mixture of resentment and longing towards an unnamed person who is no longer in the singer's life. The first stanza speaks of the singer's disdain for this person, as they "hate [their] fucking face" and recall how they were made fun of for biting their nails. The singer also mentions feeling inferior to this person (who they believe thinks they're "not as smart" or "cool enough"), and their curiosity about what the person is doing now. However, the singer ultimately accepts that it's "not [their] place" to invade this person's privacy and decides to "give [them their] space."


In the second stanza, the tone shifts to one of self-reflection and sadness. The singer laments that they've somehow become a "prop to use then throw away" in this person's life, and that they've lost touch with who they were before they met them. They express a sense of exhaustion and boredom with their current state, and criticize the person for not being there to help them heal from the wounds they undoubtedly suffered in their past together. Despite this, the singer admits that they still care about this person deeply, and expresses frustration with themselves for not being able to fully cut them out of their lives.


Overall, "Sponsor Me Tape" is a raw and emotional song that captures the complicated nature of relationships and the difficulty of moving on from someone who has hurt you. The lyrics reflect a complex mix of emotions, including anger, longing, sadness, and resignation. The song's simple yet powerful instrumentation and catchy melody help to drive home its emotional impact, making it a standout track on Mom Jeans's album Best Buds.
