lyrics

Aurora:

You’re... authentic?

Paxton:

Notes with compliments on them? Ha! This is
pathetic.Right aurora?

Aurora:

...yeah, I’m embarrassed for you.

Paxton:

Don’t know about you but I’m uneasy.
Don’t say it’s not true, yeah we’re all uncomfy.
You tell your life, tell us your lies,
are you this unaware?
Your spilt emotional inventory
and no one freakin’ cares.

I’m not embarrassed for me, me, me.
I’m embarrassed for you, you, you.
It’s all the things that you say, say, say
Oh it’s cringey too.

Pick this off of your ‘feelings’ list,
none of us are therapists.
Take all these whiney tones,
and leave us alone, nerd.

Don’t look at me like I’m fake and cruel
I'm reppin' what we all think at school.
Oh I don't lie, I say what's there
and it's, so amusing.
You're not like me, hypocrisy
It's desperate and confusing.

Paxton/Students:

I’m not embarrassed for me, me, me.
I’m embarrassed for you, you, you.
It’s all the things that you say, say, say,
that aren’t even true.
I’m not embarrassed for me, me, me.
I’m embarrassed for you, you, you.
It’s all the things that you say, say, say,
that aren’t even true.

Instrumental

I know you probably want to see,
that someone here, has empathy.
It's blissful to be ignorant
and be like us, just less!

Paxton:

Hey Simon!

Simon:

What’s up?

Paxton:

This kid is kronkin’ out creepy notes to
everyone just to get your attention! Have you
got yours yet, or is he saving it for a special
moment?

Simon:
(reads)

Deep down I know you really care about
people and their feelings.

Students:

LAMEEE!

Paxton / Students

I’m not embarrassed for me, me, me.
I’m embarrassed for you, you, you.
I just don’t bel-ee lee leave
It's too sad to be true.
I’m not embarrassed for me, me, me.
I’m embarrassed for you, you, you.
I just don’t bel-ee lee leave
It's too sad to be true-ooo.
