🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Started to cry, but then remembered I
  • I can buy myself flowers
  • Write my name in the sand
  • Talk to myself for hours

Echo the hook

  • Talk to myself for hours, yeah
  • Say things you don't understand
  • I can take myself dancing, yeah
  • I can hold my own hand
bettermyselfbaby
