Piggyback Lyrics - Melanie Martinez

[Verse 1] 

I was three years old 

All I wanted was the music and 

My parents were doing everything they could 

To move away from our place working over time always 

While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring, oh 

Moved to a small town and started to, started to grow 

Poetry written, I'm singing and dancing, oh 

Photographs, painting, cartoons 

That's all I know 

That's all I know, oh 

I have one best friend to this very fucking day 

Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away 

I wish I never did cause she's the only one who sees me 

For who I really am instead of how many I reach, oh

[Pre-Chorus] 

Trusted too many fake people while I was still young 

Gave them the benefit of the doubt, I was so wrong 

I cut them off and they came for blood cause they know 

They ain't getting no more 

[Chorus] 

I'm so done with playing piggy back, oh 

Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh 

You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me 

When you could never come close cause I know my destiny 

I worked hard for my shit 

Put my love in this shit 

Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame 

What is this? 

Tried to help you do your shit 

Encouraged you to work on it 

Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

[Verse 2] 

Now I'm 22 and I've had a crazy year of 

Isolation from all the plastic people here 

I cannot wait for the day 

I can finally move away 

Back to New York City where the realest people really stay, oh 

Spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul 

The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold 

Love and empathy are things that we hold so close 

Trying to learn and evolve 

[Chorus] 

I'm so done with playing piggy back, oh 

Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh 

You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me 

When you could never come close cause I know my destiny 

I worked hard for my shit 

Put my love in this shit 

Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame 

What is this? 

Tried to help you do your shit 

Encouraged you to work on it 

Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage 

[Outro] 

I'm so done with playing piggy back, oh 

Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh 

You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me 

When you could never come close cause I know my destiny
