Detention - Melanie Martinez

I’m not a bad guy

So don’t treat me bad if I’m feeling sad, alright?

Please don’t be mad if I don’t smile back, alright?

If I fuck up my words, don’t think I’m absurd, alright?

Alright?

I’m physically exhausted

Tired of my knuckles beating

I’m chewing gum to pass this time of sadness

Can’t you see it?

You’re too busy seeking selfish wishes

Don’t care how I’m feeling

You write me up and say it’s love

And I can’t believe it

Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?

I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension

Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?

Pretending everything’s alright is detention

De-de-detention

De-de-detention

Pretending everything’s alright is (Shh)

The teachers don’t care about me

Fuck how I feel as long as I make money

They let them do whatever they want to me

They’re the customer, I’m chopped meat

I’m chopped meat

I’m physically exhausted

Tired of my knuckles beating

I’m chewing gum to pass this time of sadness

Can’t you see it?

You’re too busy seeking selfish wishes

Don’t care how I’m feeling

You write me up and say it’s love

And I can’t believe it

Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?

I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension

Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?

Pretending everything’s alright is detention

De-de-detention

De-de-detention

Pretending everything’s alright is detention

I wanna go home and you say, «Now is not the time»

Fuck being all alone in back of the classroom, ah

Stop calling up my phone tryna say that I’ve been out of line

When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom

Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?

I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension

Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?

Pretending everything’s alright is detention

Tonight, I can feel your blood pressure rise

Let me crawl up into your mind

Pretending everything’s alright (Is detention)
