Little Splinters

I'm going to plan too many coffee dates
And when morning approaches, that's when I will flake
Inconsequential, why can't you let me be?
I don't want you to need me
Just want you to please my every whim

Oh, such whimsy, I wish that I could breathe
In air cold like winter keeps me on my toes
Oh, little splinters, one day trees will grow
Oh, little splinters, one day trees will grow

Homecoming queen, but no date to the dance
Sneakin' in chips in a black bodega bag
Posted a topless pic, call it an attention grab
To be well-liked can feel so small
When you just want one to love your all

Sometimes vulnerability just looks like trash
Shared it just to scare myself and then to have
To let it go
To let it go
I have wasted years
Trying to escape fear
I have wasted years
To let it go
But this year I wanna move in it like a muddy swamp
This year, gonna dance with it like I'm at the prom

Oh, little splinters, one day we will grow
Oh, little splinters, one day we will grow
One day, we will grow
